In a big bowl, mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, green onions, and minced garlic. Use your hands to combine everything well. Shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet.
Firecracker sauce. In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Brush the meatballs with the firecracker sauce, saving some for dipping if you'd like.
– Bake. Cook meatballs for 30-35 minutes, until they’re cooked through and golden brown.
Creamy Dipping Sauce. While the meatballs bake, make the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and salt.
Serve the meatballs with the savory firecracker sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle the sauce on top. These meatballs are so good when served with lots of freshly chopped parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds. Enjoy!
