For Meatballs | |
1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20 is best | |
3 green onions very thinly sliced | |
3 garlic cloves minced | |
1 egg lightly beaten | |
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs | |
2 tbsp gochujang Korean chili paste | |
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger | |
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce | |
¼ tsp salt | |
Glaze | |
1 tbsp rice vinegar | |
¼ cup brown sugar | |
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce | |
1 tbsp gochujang |
1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with foil, set aside. |
2. | In a large mixing bow, add all ingredients for meatballs, mix until just combined. Don't overmix or the meatballs will be tough. |
3. | Roll mixture into 24 meatballs. Using a cookie scoop makes it easy to get evenly sized meatballs. Place 12 meatballs on each baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake 10-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. |
4. | Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and gochujang in a small sauce pan over medium heat. |
5. | Whisk together until combined. Continue to cook and whisk occasionally until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Don't allow sauce to boil, reduce heat if needed. |
6. | When meatballs are done, remove from oven. Brush with glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired, and serve. |
