Instructions
Pork Meatballs
Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs to a bowl. Mix until they are just combined, careful not to over mix.
Use a 1 1/2" to 2" scoop to form even sized meatballs.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1/8 cup olive oil. Add the meatballs, careful not to overcrowd. You can work in batches.
Fry the meatballs on all sides, allowing them to brown. Cook them until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
Transfer the cooked meatballs to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
General Tso's Sauce
Whisk together the cornstarch and chicken stock.
Add the slurry to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until slightly thickened.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir until completely thickened.
Add the meatballs into the sauce and toss to coat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Enjoy!
