Firecracker Meatballs

• In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, 2 tsp soy sauce (4 tsp for 4 servings), and Sriracha to taste. (You’ll use the rest of the soy sauce later.) Set aside.

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), 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.

• While rice cooks, in a second large bowl, combine beef*, panko, scallion whites, ginger, remaining soy sauce, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into 10-12 1½-inch meatballs (20- 24 for 4).

• Place meatballs on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. • Trim green beans if necessary. Toss on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast meatballs on middle rack and green beans on top rack.) • Roast on top rack until meatballs are cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 14-16 minutes.
