Instructions

- In a large bowl, add beef, garlic powder and onion powder, whisked egg, ginger, tapioca flour and 2 tablespoons coconut aminos.
- Next, use to your hands to combine mixture. If too sticky or wet, add 1 tablespoon tapioca flour at a time until you're able to form meatballs.
- Then, form 1.5 inch meatballs with your hands. Place meatballs on baking sheet and bake for 14 to 16 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat.

- When meatballs are cooked through, remove from heat. Next, add sauce to skillet and place meatballs in sauce. Then, cook 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce is warmed through.
- For a thicker sauce, whisk in 1 tablespoon tapioca flour.
- Lastly, remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
