Materials:

Mass	Weight	Volume	Number	Material	Notes
		2 tablespoons		soy sauce
		1 tablespoon		sesame oil
		1 tablespoon		ginger, grated or minced
		1 teaspoon		red chili pepper flakes	I used gochugaru.
		1 tablespoon		corn starch
		3 tablespoons		scallions, chopped
	1 pound			ground meat	I used chicken.
		1/4 cup		Hoisin sauce
		2 tablespoons		cilantro, chopped finely
		1 tablespoon		lime juice
				sesame seeds

Methods:

1. Gather all materials.
2. Mix all materials except Hoisin sauce, cilantro, lime, and sesame seeds until roughly uniform.
3. Form meatballs and place on baking tray.
4. Bake at 400F until cooked through, approximately 15 minutes. Larger meatballs will take longer.
5. Meanwhile, combine the Hoisin sauce, cilantro, and lime. We used the Hoisin cilantro sauce as a dipping sauce, but you could also go ahead and coat the meatballs with the sauce.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
