In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, pineapple juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoons of ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil.
In a small dish, combine the tapioca flour and the water to make a slurry.
Whisk the slurry into the boiling sauce mixture. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the pork, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, cilantro, green onion, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to form the pork mixture into meatballs.
To bake the meatballs in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 17-20 minutes.
To bake the meatballs in an air fryer, place the meatballs in the basket and cook at 370 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
In a large saute pan on medium heat, add the avocado oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon minced ginger.
Saute for about 30 seconds until the mixture is fragrant.
Add 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce and the frozen stir fry vegetables.
Cook until vegetables are warm, about 7-10 minutes.
Add in the noodles and the remainder of the teriyaki sauce. Cook for 5-7 additional minutes.
Top the chow mein with sesame seeds and meatballs.
Serve in bowls. Enjoy!
