Preheat the oven to 400°F/204C and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and sriracha. Gently mix them together gently-- you don’t want to compact the meat too much.
Scoop out two-Tablespoon sized portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls. It can help to lightly oil your hands while you roll them.
Place the meatballs on the prepared parchment lined baking sheet and cook them for 20-22 minutes in the preheated oven or until the internal temperature registers 145°F/63°C on an instant read thermometer.
Make the sauce while the meatballs bake.

In a large saucepan, combine the 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.
