Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork or ground beef
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • For the Spicy Mayo Dip:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meatballs are browned.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  6. Remove the meatballs from the oven. If you prefer a glaze, you can toss the hot meatballs in a mixture of 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey before serving.
  7. Serve the Korean BBQ meatballs warm with the spicy mayo dip on the side.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken for pork or beef.
  • For air fryer cooking, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • These meatballs freeze well after baking; cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
