Steps

1Add the meatball ingredients to a small mixing bowl and use your hands to mix until well combined. Next, use a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the chicken mixture and use your hands to form into meatballs.
2When the meatballs are formed, heat a large skillet over medium heat and then add a tablespoon of oil. Next add the meatballs to the hot skillet and cook for roughly 3-4 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
3While the meatballs are cooking, add all of the sauce ingredients to a mixing bowl or large measuring cup and whisk until well combined.
4Once all of the meatballs have been cooked and removed from the skillet, rinse and wipe out your skillet then return to the stove over medium heat.
5Add the sauce to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer for 2-4 minutes, or until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
6Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for another 1-2 minutes while stirring to ensure they are well coated in the sauce.
7Serve the meatballs and sauce over white rice and garnished with cilantro, green onion, and sesame seeds.
