Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon gochujang spicy Korean chili paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced or grated
- 2 garlic minced or grated, cloves
- 1 scallion minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Gochujang-Honey Glaze:
- 2-4 tablespoons gochujang start with 2 and taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar unseasoned
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Garnish:
- scallion thinly sliced
- sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F / 190ºC
- Place all the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and, using your hands, mix together until completely blended (but don’t over-mix).
- With wet hands (to keep the meatballs from sticking), form 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoon sized meatballs (Using a small portion scoop makes this easier but you could do it by eye). Place balls about an inch apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes or until just cooked through.
- Meanwhile combine all glaze ingredients in small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Brush glaze onto meatballs and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with extra gochujang glaze on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Meatballs can be cooked ahead and refrigerated or frozen. About 30 minutes before you want to serve them, bake them on a parchment-lined baking tray in a 350ºF oven until warm. No need to defrost, if frozen. They should take about 15-25 minutes to reheat. Then glaze and serve.
