Instructions

Step 1: Make the Meatballs

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 2: Cook the Meatballs

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Bake the meatballs for 15–18 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning to cook evenly.

Step 3: Make the Korean BBQ Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
3. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Glaze the Meatballs

1. Once the meatballs are cooked, toss them in the Korean BBQ glaze until fully coated.

Step 5: Make the Spicy Mayo Dip

1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.

Step 6: Serve

1. Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving platter.
2. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for presentation.
