It’s been a while since I’ve put my own spin on a classic Korean dish, so here goes! Here are my beautiful Korean galbi meatballs, inspired by the classic Korean side dish, ddukgalbi. Ddukgalbi is traditionally made using minced short rib meat that shaped into flat pancakes then pan fried to perfection. I decided to make meatballs with a similar, sweet marinade, but using ground pork and ground beef!
These meatballs are sweet, savory and so delicious. They go perfectly with some mashed potatoes and arugula, on a bed of rice, or on a salad! I love meal prepping these meatballs because they are really quick to make and are packed with flavor.
Give these meatballs a try and let me know what you think in the comments down below!
