• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Peel and mince ginger. • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, 2 tsp soy sauce (4 tsp for 4), and Sriracha to taste. (You’ll use the rest of the soy sauce later.) Set aside.
• Place carrots on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Toss with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper, then push to one side of sheet. (For 4 servings, spread carrots out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the meatballs then).
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 ¼ cups water (2 ¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, in a second large bowl, combine beef, panko, scallion whites, ginger, remaining soy sauce, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1 ½ tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into 10-12 1 ½-inch meatballs (20-24 for 4).
• Once carrots have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully place meatballs on empty side. (For 4 servings, leave carrots roasting; add meatballs to a second lightly oiled baking sheet and roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack; roast until meatballs are cooked through and carrots are browned and tender, 14-16 minutes more. TIP: If carrots are done before meatballs, remove from sheet and continue roasting meatballs.
• Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. • Carefully add meatballs to bowl with sauce; toss to coat. • Divide rice between bowls or plates. Top with meatballs and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Serve carrots on the side. Garnish with scallion greens. ***Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.***
