We’re big fans of baking, rather than frying, our meatballs for a healthier alternative to this dinnertime staple. But don’t worry, the dish is still jam-packed with flavor thanks to a sweet hoisin glaze and crisp snow peas. One bite and you’ll be hooked.

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and mince ginger. Finely chop scallions. Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot.
In a medium bowl, combine ginger, scallions, beef, panko, and 1 tsp sugar. Season with salt (we used 1 tsp kosher salt) and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs and place onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes.
Add rice to boiling water, cover, and reduce to a simmer until tender, 15-20 minutes.
After meatballs have cooked 15 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. Use a spoon to glaze each meatball with a little bit of hoisin sauce. Return to oven and bake until sauce has lost some of its shine, about 5 minutes.
Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add snow peas and toss until tender, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut lime into wedges. Sprinkle meatballs with sesame seeds. Serve meatballs on a bed of rice alongside snow peas and a lime wedge for squeezing over.
