Ingredients
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- ½ tsp. red chile paste
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger, coursley ground or chopped
- Glaze:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. Mirin (Asian cooking wine)
- 1 tsp. agave
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger, coursley ground or chopped
- 1 tsp. red chile paste
- scallions, for garnish
Let's go
- Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef and the additional 4 ingredients. Form into small ½-inch long meatballs and place in an ovenproof baking dish, like a glass pyrex. Allow it to sit and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and cook on low heat allowing it the mixture to cook down into a glaze, approximately 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken up, into an almost syrup-like consistency. Once it’s the proper consistency, take off heat and reserve.
- Put the meatballs into the oven and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take out and pour the glaze on top of all the balls. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Chop the scallions on a diagonal cut. Put the meatballs onto a serving tray and garnish with the scallions.
