In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ginger, 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tsp sesame oil, the green tops of the 3 green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of egg or breadcrumb remain; overmixing toughens the meatballs.
