Cocktail Meatballs with a Sweet and Spicy Gochujang-Honey Glaze

Provided by Emily Clifton - Nerds with Knives

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon gochujang (spicy Korean chili paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ginger (minced or grated)
2 garlic cloves (minced or grated)
1 scallion (minced)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-4 tablespoons gochujang (start with 2 and taste)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Scallion (thinly sliced)
Toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F / 190ºC
  • Place all the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and, using your hands, mix together until completely blended (but don't over-mix).
  • With wet hands (to keep the meatballs from sticking), form 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoon sized meatballs (Using a small portion scoop makes this easier but you could do it by eye). Place balls about an inch apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes or until just cooked through.
  • Meanwhile combine all glaze ingredients in small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside and let cool.

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 50

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons minced garlic (from about 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
5 tablespoons gochujang paste (available at Asian markets and walmart.com)
1 pound ground chuck (80 percent lean)
1 pound ground pork
1 large egg
Kosher salt
1/4 cup safflower oil
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
Thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, use your hands to gently combine garlic, ginger, 3 tablespoons gochujang, beef, pork, egg, and 1 tablespoon salt just until evenly combined (do not overwork, or meatballs will be dense and tough). Scoop 1 tablespoon of mixture into your palm; gently roll into a ball and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Meatballs can be formed, loosely covered, and refrigerated on sheet up to 1 day.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in 2 tablespoons safflower oil. Add halfof meatballs in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places and a crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and brown remaining meatballs in remaining safflower oil.
  • Wipe skillet clean. Combine ketchup, remaining 2 tablespoons gochujang, vinegar, sesame oil, 1/2 cup water, and brown sugar in skillet; bring to a simmer over medium. Carefully add meatballs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and meatballs are just cooked through and evenly coated, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl, sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve warm, with toothpicks.

EVELYN'S SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS



Evelyn's Sweet and Sour Meatballs image

This is my grandmother's sweet and sour meatball recipe. For those who like to use up everything, it's a great way to make use of sweet pickle juice - as the pickles are used up, I just save the juice in a jar at the back of the fridge. Easy, quick prep, can be cooked on stove top, in oven or crockpot and can cook meatballs in the sauce or pre-cook in microwave, fry pan or oven. This recipe freezes well and is easily doubled. Also kid-friendly; my 4 year old who is going through the stage of "KD and hotdogs or nothing" eats this without prompting!
