Directions:
Directions:
1. PREP - Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425º Fahrenheit. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Peel and mince ginger.

2. MAKE FIRECRACKER SAUCE - In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, 4 tsp soy sauce, and sriracha to taste. Set aside.

3. COOK RICE - Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add rice, 1 1/2 c. water, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

4. FORM MEATBALLS - While the rice cooks, in a second large bowl, combine beef, panko, ginger, scallion whites, remaining soy sauce, salt (~1 tsp.), and pepper. Form into 20-24 1 1/2 inch meatballs.

5. ROAST MEATBALLS & GREEN BEANS - Place meatballs on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. On the empty side, toss green beans with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until meatballs are cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 14-16 minutes.

6. FINISH & SERVE - Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Toss the meatballs in your firecracker sauce. Garnish meatballs with scallion greens and chili flakes to taste. Serve with a side of your rice and green beans.
