- In a large bowl, combine the pork, ginger, garlic, onion, jalapeño, fish sauce, lime juice, panko, and salt. Shape the mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place on a large plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and soy sauce and cook, tossing, for 2-3 minutes, or until the zucchini is crisp-tender. Transfer the zucchini to a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive in the empty skillet. When hot, add the meatballs and sear, turning gently with tongs to brown all sides. After searing, cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 5 minutes to cook through.
- Divide the zucchini noodles and meatballs between bowls. Top with carrots, cabbage, and lime wedges.
