Set oven to 420 F. Mix ground beef, egg and cilantro in a bowl. I ran out fresh so I used some dried as well. Once the mixture is uniform, roll into small ~1.5" meatballs and set on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Forgot to say the onion powder goes in as well.

Put the meatballs in the oven to bake for 6-8 minutes. While that's happening, make the sauce. Grate your ginger, mix your cornstarch with some cold water, and mix those with chili sauce, jelly, soy sauce and rice vinegar in a large pan. Set the pan to low-medium heat and stir until the sauce thickens.

I thought my meatballs looked a little dull so I also broiled them for a minute or two to brown the tops. Add your meatballs to your sauce and fold everything together. Mine had some fatty residue on them which I didn't take away and it made for a sort of ugly looking sauce, so I'd recommend you skim that off before putting them in the sauce.

Serve meatballs over rice with whatever sides you want, hopefully something more inspired than my frozen veggies. Top with sesame seeds for that fancy look.

Looks decent but you're doing your dinner a disservice by plopping down microwaved frozen vegetables next to it.

Such a shame meatballs are so nasty no matter what sauce you use. Might try the same sauce on some battered and fried chicken thighs, though.

what is the point of sesame seeds? they're flavorless.

I'm making Indian peas and cheese, but with tofu instead of the paneer.

Are you mad? Sesame has a very strong flavour.

This, I can barely stand if I use more than like half a teaspoon. It hits overwhelmingly, sickeningly savory/musty territory very easily.

Making pan-roasted chicken drumsticks with zucchini and sweet potatoes. Smells delicious.

>no kimchi or gochujang
>korean inspired
>uses a thai sauce

This really is closer to a Thai dish than Korean. Just saying.

Post pics.

>>12439675
You know what, you're probably right. What's more is I think I actually have some gochujang somewhere but forgot about it.

Kind of agree but I had some ground beef left over.

Hey now, getting better at cooking is literally about admitting you done fucked up. Bad chefs try and insist their failures are okay.
