Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Grease a baking pan.
In a bowl combine the ground beef with the onion, panko, garlic powder and soy sauce. Mix until the ingredients are just combined and don’t overwork the mix.
Scoop out 1 tbsp beef and shape into a ball. Place in the baking pan and repeat the process with the rest of the meatballs. Spray with oil and take to the oven.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until done. Remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan stir together the water, brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce and garlic powder. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until the sugar is caramelized and the sauce is sticky.
Transfer the baked meatballs to the sauce and toss to coat.
Notes
You can also use ground turkey for this recipe! The end result is incredibly delicious too!If you want your sauce to be thicker, you can mix in ½ tablespoon of cornstarch diluted in 2 tablespoons of water.
