Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground Beef
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp ground white Pepper
  • 1 tbsp minced Garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced Ginger
  • 1/4 cup finely minced Spring Onion
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Sauce
  • 3 tbsps Ketchup
  • 2 tbsps Gochujang or Chilli Pepper paste
  • 2 tbsps minced Garlic
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsps light Soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ¼ cup Orange juice
Garnish
  • Finely chopped Ginger
  • Spring onion leaves
  • Sesame seeds
  • Coriander leaves

Method
 

  1. Prepare the sauce by heating all the ingredients except the orange juice, that will just be used in the end to thin the sauce and loosen it up
  2. Add the salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, spring onions, egg and breadcrumbs to the ground meat and mix well to incorporate
  3. Use an ice cream scoop to divide the meatballs and oiled hands to shape them
  4. You can either deep fry or oven bake these meatballs but I am using my air fryer to get fried results without using any oil
  5. Once the meatballs are ready, heat up the sauce and add the orange juice
  6. Toss in the meatballs and garnish with finely chopped ginger, spring onion leaves, sesame seeds and coriander leaves
