Korean Meatballs Recipe • Perfect for Parties! | Club Foody

 

December is a busy month when it comes to entertaining. There are dinner parties, soirées, charity events, cocktail parties 🍸, plus Christmas and New Year’s Eve! For these occasions, you need bouchées and hors d’oeuvres.
 
I have a few dozen recipes that are ideal to serve at any event 🥳. There’s Croquetas de Jamón (Ham Croquettes), Caprese Skewers, Sardine Cups, Stuffed Dates with Gorgonzola, Gougères, and many more including this new one… Korean Meatballs!
 
These tasty little guys are quick and easy to make. They can be prepared ahead which is perfect when hosting a party. Another plus about this recipe is you can increase the level of spiciness. Although great as little bouchées, these meatballs can be served over rice 🍚 as a meal…
 
This version is semi-mild which is probably more appropriate when entertaining a group. On the other hand, if you know everyone’s tolerance to heat 🔥, you can bring it up a few notches by increasing the amount of gochujang and sweet chili sauce.
 
Let’s talk about gochujang…
It’s a Korean condiment made from fermented red chili peppers. This thick, sticky paste is spicy with a slight sweetness to it. It’s often used in meat dishes, like these Korean Meatballs, in stews and soups. You can easily find it at any Asian supermarket or online 💻.
 
Another condiment that gives a punch is Sweet Chili Sauce. Its taste is sweet, spicy and sour… all at once! It’s a popular sauce used in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. You can buy 🛒 it premade in most supermarkets but if you want to make it from scratch, here’s the link… Sweet Chili Sauce
 
As I mentioned above, most of the recipe can be made ahead of time. After the meatballs are baked, I transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra fat. Then I place them on a clean plate or container to allow them to cool before transferring to the fridge. When I’m ready to serve, I take them out an hour 🕐 before.
 
The sauce is very quick to make ⏳. After whisking all the ingredients, it simmers for 5 minutes. From there, the meatballs are transferred to the skillet then tossed around so they’re coated with the sauce. It takes just 2 to 4 minutes to warm them up before serving.
 
These Korean Meatballs are always a crowd pleaser 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦! Besides being quick to make, these flavorful little guys are a great hors d’oeuvre to serve at your next party. Don’t stress out with your menu by making these incredible bouchées!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
