Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
3 cups finely chopped Chinese or napa cabbage
1 can (8 ounces) bamboo shoots, drained and finely chopped
1 medium carrot, shredded
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-1/2 cups sushi or small grain rice

DIPPING SAUCE:
3/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. In a small bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over meat mixture; mix lightly but thoroughly (mixture will be soft). With wet hands, shape into 1-in. balls; roll in rice to coat evenly.
