Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, ginger, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well incorporated, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs dense.
Form the mixture into small balls, approximately one inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the formed meatballs, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these savory pork balls on their own, or serve them with your favorite side dish or dipping sauce.
