- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger grated
- 0.25 cup green onions chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While meatballs are baking, heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and honey, and bring to a simmer.

- Toss cooked meatballs with the sauce and serve garnished with additional green onions, if desired.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
