Ingredients
500g ground beef or beef/pork blend
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
2 green onions chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon gochujang
1 egg
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon gochujang (for mayo dip)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped chives (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 1½-inch balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or pan-fry in oil for 10–12 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, gochujang, and lime juice to make the spicy dip.
5. Arrange meatballs on a platter, drizzle with spicy mayo, and garnish with chopped chives. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meat—this keeps the meatballs tender and juicy.
Make extra spicy mayo—it’s great on sandwiches, fries, or rice bowls.
For freezer-friendly prep, cook and freeze meatballs for up to 3 months.
