Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or a mix of beef and pork
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs panko or regular

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Using a small scoop or hands, form 1-inch meatballs (about 20-24 meatballs).
  3. Sear the Meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sear meatballs on all sides for 6-8 minutes until browned.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add cornstarch slurry if a thicker consistency is desired.
  5. Simmer the Meatballs: Pour the sauce into the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the meatballs simmer for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and glazed.
  6. Make the Spicy Mayo Dip: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust to taste.
  7. Garnish & Serve: Drizzle the spicy mayo over the meatballs or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
