Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Spicy Mayo Dip

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, pepper, and brown sugar if using. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined, ensuring the meat absorbs all the flavors.
  3. Form the Meatballs: Using clean hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet to allow even baking.
  4. Bake the Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through, have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), and are golden brown on the outside.
  5. Prepare the Spicy Mayo Dip: While the meatballs bake, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
  6. Garnish the Dip: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top of the spicy mayo dip to add extra flavor and a visually appealing touch.
  7. Serve: Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside the prepared spicy mayo dip for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • Adding brown sugar helps balance the savory soy sauce with a hint of sweetness, but it’s optional.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and soy sauce.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity in the dip to suit your spice tolerance.
  • Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat meatballs gently in the oven or microwave before serving again.
