Steps:
- Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
- Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

ASIAN-INSPIRED PORK MEATBALLS WITH PINEAPPLE IN THE SLOW COOKER
I'm a fan of potstickers and this pork meatball mixture makes me think of the potsticker filling. I used a small slow cooker, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients if yours is larger. Serve over coconut rice (I used "Easy Coconut Jasmine Rice" from Allrecipes).

- Seasoning and flavoring: Generously season the pork mixture with a blend of spices like garlic, ginger, green onions, and soy sauce to infuse the meatballs with Asian-inspired flavors.
- Pineapple incorporation: Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the meatballs. Additionally, reserve some pineapple juice for the slow cooker sauce to enhance the overall flavor.
- Sauce preparation: Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, creating a delicious glaze for the meatballs.
- Slow cooker cooking: Place the meatballs and pineapple chunks in the slow cooker, pour the prepared sauce over them, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and tenderizes the meatballs.
- Garnish and serving suggestions: Before serving, garnish the meatballs with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. Serve over rice, noodles, or as a standalone appetizer.
