These saucy sesame gochujang meatballs use frozen meatballs that are cooked in a sweet-spicy soy, sesame, and gochujang sauce. Serve them over jasmine rice as a main dish; they also make a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen fully cooked beef and pork meatballs
  • 0.5 cups reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup

  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.25 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • sliced green onions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Arrange meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 25 minutes, or cook meatballs according to package directions.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, stir soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, gochujang, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch together in a small saucepan; set aside.

  4. 4

    Near the end of meatball cooking time, heat sauce over medium-high heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add in the meatballs; toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onion.
