Instructions
For the Meatballs
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoons gochujang, breadcrumbs, green onions, and cilantro. Mix gently with your hands until evenly incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 ½ inches in diameter (approximately 2 heaping tablespoons each), and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons gochujang, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, honey, and rice wine vinegar. Brush or toss the meatballs with the sauce, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
For the Vinaigrette
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
For the Salad
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss lightly.
To assemble
- Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of the herb salad and meatballs. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve immediately with your favorite kimchi on the side.
Notes
- Swap out brown rice or cauliflower rice.
