  • 3 tbsp finely chopped scallions
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey

Method
 

  1. Combine ground meat, garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, panko, egg, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently.
  2. Form 1-inch meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Simmer gochujang, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil for 3–4 minutes to make glaze.
  5. Toss hot meatballs in the warm glaze and let rest 2 minutes.
  6. Whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey to create spicy mayo dip.
  7. Serve meatballs warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

Mix meatball ingredients gently to avoid toughness. Let spicy mayo sit 10 minutes for deeper flavor.
