Preparation

Meatballs

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk and panko breadcrumbs. Set aside and let the breadcrumbs soak for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl add the panko milk mixture, ground chicken, egg, soy sauce, green onion, garlic, carrot, and spices. Using your hands, mix just until combined (do not overmix, it will cause the meatballs to be dense).
While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce.

Asian Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the hoisin, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the meatballs to a large bowl and cover with sauce. Serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, if desired.
Pro tip: Serve with fancy toothpicks or over rice with extra sauce drizzled on top.
