Instructions
Meatballs
Preheat your oven to 375. Line a jelly pan with tin foil and set a cooling rack on top of it. Spray the cooling rack with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop, form the mixture into meatballs.
Bake for 15 minutes or until a meatball in the middle of the pan registers 165 degrees with an instant read thermometer.
Teriyaki Sauce
While the meatballs are cooking, combine all of the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir regularly while bringing to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
Toss with the cooked meatballs and serve as an appetizer, or over rice with steamed broccoli.

Notes
It is really important to use low sodium soy sauce for these. Panko Breadcrumbs are rather salty on their own, and if use regular soy sauce, it will all be over powering. The low sodium soy sauce, however, is just right.
