Preheat oven to 400° F and prep a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
Preheat a tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Finely chop baby bok choy (I recommend cutting it into a few slices longways first, then chopping through)- keep in mind that this will me mixed into the meatball, so the pieces need to be fairly small.
Peel ginger and garlic and finely mince both.
Add bok choy, garlic, and ginger to skillet and saute, stirring frequently, until bok choy has softened (5 minutes). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
Transfer vegetables to a heat safe bowl to cool while you start on the meatballs.
To a large bowl, add your pork, egg, almond flour, and crushed pepper. Begin to break up the pork and incorporate ingredients, stopping just before the mixture is combined.
Add your vegetables to the pork mixture and continue incorporating until vegetables are distributed evenly throughout. Be sure not to overmix, as meatballs can become tough.
Roll pork mixture into golf ball sized meatballs and transfer to your prepared baking sheet. I use a standard cookie scoop and it makes exactly 18 meatballs.
Drizzle the top of each meatball with a little bit of olive oil.
Place meatballs in the oven and bake until cooked through and browning on top, about 20-25 minutes.
While the meatballs cook, prepare the sauce. Whisk together all sauce ingredients except the green onion. Slice green onion on a bias and add to the sauce.
Serve in lettuce cups with dipping sauce, or in warm broth with ramen noodles.
