Ingredients
For the meatballs:

- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 12 slider buns
- Sliced pineapple

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2: Form the Meatballs
Using your hands, roll the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the meatballs with a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Split the slider buns and lightly toast them. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a meatball, a slice of pineapple, and a few slices of red onion. Drizzle with more teriyaki glaze, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serving
Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately. These Delicious Teriyaki Meatball Sliders are best enjoyed fresh and hot, and they're sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them. Enjoy!
