Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 12 oz Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 cups sweet potato, 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, chunks
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Sesame seeds
  • Extra sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and bell pepper with oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast 12–15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix ground beef, panko, egg, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper. Form into 18–20 meatballs.
  3. Push roasted vegetables to one side of the pan, add meatballs to the other side. Roast another 12–15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and vegetables are caramelized.
  4. In a saucepan, whisk gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch. Simmer 2–3 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
  5. Transfer hot meatballs and vegetables to a bowl, pour sauce over, and toss to coat.
  6. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with rice, noodles, or enjoy as is.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken. Swap in your favorite vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or zucchini. Be careful not to overmix the meatballs and avoid overcrowding the pan for best caramelization.
