Banh Mi Meatball Bowls

Directions :

1. To a small bowl, add the breadcrumbs and milk to create a panade. Mix to coat the breadcrumbs and set aside for 5-10 minutes or until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the milk.

2. To a large bowl, add all remaining meatball ingredients and the breadcrumb/milk mixture. Mix with your hands until ingredients are evenly distributed in the meat, being careful not to overmix.

3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Using a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop, roll into about 1" meatballs and place on the lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.

4. Pre-heat oven to 400°F while the meatballs rest. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops of the meatballs begin to brown and are cooked through.

5. Assemble the Bowls

6. Add cooked rice to the base of the bowls, then layer with Quick Pickled Veggies and meatballs. Top with sriracha mayo, fresh herbs, and sesame seeds before serving.
