  1. 1

    Cook The Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, 11/2 cups water, and a pinch of salt to a boil.

    Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

    Prepare The Ingredients

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2” half-moons.

    Cook The Meatballs

    Combine ground pork, panko, miso paste, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl. Divide mixture into six evenly-sized meatballs.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and meatballs to hot pan. Stir occasionally until meatballs are browned all over and reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
