Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, a generous pinch of flaky salt and grinding of black pepper. Form the mixture into meatballs - you should be able to create around 16 meatballs.
Place a large frying pan/skillet on medium heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Once hot, add in the meatballs and fry on each side for 3 minutes until golden brown (the inside won't be cooked).
Make the teriyaki sauce in a bowl by combining the soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar. Stir to combine, then pour it into the meatball pan and stir to coat the meatballs. Reduce the heat to avoid burning the sauce, and place on a lid. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until the meatballs are no longer raw in the centre.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, add in the butter and place on medium heat. Next up, add in the minced garlic and miso paste. Stir to combine until a paste forms, then add in the single cream, sriracha, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir and leave to simmer on low heat until the meatballs in the other pan are cooked through. Taste the miso sauce and adjust seasoning based on your preferences.
Divide your cooked rice between bowls and top with the teriyaki meatballs, spicy miso dressing, sliced chives, black sesame seeds, and optionally some chilli oil. enjoy my friends!
