10 - 1/4 cup soy sauce
11 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
12 - 1 tablespoon honey
13 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
14 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

→ For the Spicy Mayo Dip

18 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
19 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
20 - 1 teaspoon honey
21 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
02 - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes, until fully cooked and browned. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly.
03 - In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.
04 - Once the meatballs are cooked, toss them in the Korean BBQ glaze until fully coated.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
06 - Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve warm with the spicy mayo dip on the side.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, chill the meatball mixture for 30 minutes before rolling to help them hold their shape better.
02 - These meatballs can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
