Korean Food: Meat Balls (소고기 동그랑땡) Recipe Video

This recipe will be salty enough to eat without any other sauce, so we usually eat them just plain. But if you want, you can dip this in ketchup or honey mustard sauce. How about in your meatball spaghetti? =D

Editors Review

Watch this video to learn Aeri’s mother’s recipe of Korean meatballs. They are very unlike the Italian or European ones we know of! These meatballs have a crispy outer coating cause they are double fried. They are almost like batter fried chicken! Serve these delicious crispy and crunchy coated Korean meatballs with steamed rice or how about a musubi? Nestle a meatball into crisp lettuce leaves or serve it with kim chee and dipping sauce alongside. However you serve them, these make wonderful party food.
