Juicy, flavorful Korean-style meatballs paired with a creamy spicy mayo dip—perfect for parties, meal prep, or a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
– For the Meatballs:
1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 egg
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
– For the Spicy Mayo Dip:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, pepper, and brown sugar (if using). Mix until just combined.
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the lined baking sheet.
Bake the Meatballs: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Spicy Mayo Dip: While the meatballs bake, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and soy sauce in a bowl. Stir until smooth and adjust spice to taste.
Garnish the Dip (Optional): Top with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Serve: Let meatballs cool slightly, then serve warm with the spicy mayo dip.
Notes
You can use ground turkey for a leaner version.
The spicy mayo also works great as a burger or sandwich spread.
For extra crispiness, broil the meatballs for the last 2 minutes.
