Share Your Table - Korean Meatballs

Korean-style Meatballs

Yields servings

Mains

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup finely minced green onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 egg
2 tablespoons water

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix well and beat several times with a wooden spoon. Shape into meatballs.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add about 1/8 inch of cooking oil. Place the meatballs in the hot skillet and brown on all sides. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and then to a serving platter.
For a variation, dredge the meatballs in flour and dip in beaten egg before frying. The coating will form a golden crust over the meatball.

Notes

Serving suggestion: Serve with steamed rice or how about a musubi? Nestle a meatball into crisp lettuce leaves. Have some kim chee and takuan alongside or how about a Korean-style spicy Romaine salad? Look for the recipe here at shareyourtable.com.

We recommend using honey from Manoa Honey Company or Big Island Bees Company and using The North Shore Cattle Company beef. These are Hawai‘i Seal of Quality products. For more information on Seal of Quality products, click on the logo.
