Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with foil, set aside.
- In a large mixing bow, add all ingredients for meatballs, mix until just combined. Don't overmix or the meatballs will be tough.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and gochujang in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
- 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.
- When meatballs are done, remove from oven. Brush with glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired, and serve.
Notes
- Meatballs can be frozen. If you plan on freezing them, do not brush with the glaze. Allow meatballs to cool completely. Place meatballs on a baking sheet, then freeze them for at least 30 minutes. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. After thawing, prepare the glaze and coat meatballs with glaze.
