MONGOLIAN BEEF MEATBALLS

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Beat the egg in a large bowl with a fork, then add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir in the panko, then add the ground beef, tearing into small pieces before adding to the bowl.
