Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients (ground pork, garlic, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and sriracha). Mix them gently-- you don’t want to compact the meat too much.
Scoop out two tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. It can help to lightly oil your hands while you roll them.
Place the meatballs on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them for 20-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 145F on an instant-read thermometer.
Set the meatballs aside while you make the sauce.

In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients (soy sauce, water, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds).
Set the pan over medium heat and cook until it begins to boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon - about 5 minutes.
Add the meatballs to the pan and toss to combine. Serve with your favorite sides and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
