Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for binding)

Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Additional green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until smooth.

Pour the sauce mixture into the meat mixture and combine everything well using your hands or a spoon until evenly mixed.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking oil.

Shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet with space in between each.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the meatballs drizzled with additional soy sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce if desired.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
