Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, scallions, and black pepper.
Mix the meatball mixture thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Portion the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 20-24 meatballs) and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetable oil over the meatballs or lightly brush them to ensure even browning.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the vinegar dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds, and chili flakes (if using).
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the meatballs warm with the prepared vinegar dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
