Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Korean BBQ Meatballs with Spicy Mayo Dip:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, egg, black pepper, and gochujang.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, mix everything together until well combined—then shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the formed meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
5. Bake Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
6. Prepare Spicy Mayo Dip: While the meatballs are baking, mix the mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust the gochujang for desired spice level.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the meatballs for an appealing presentation.
