Firecracker Meatball Bowls

Ingredients
  • 2 bundles scallions, sliced
  • 2 thumbs ginger (or an equivalent amount of ginger paste)
  • ¾ lb ground beef
  • ¾ lb ground pork
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 8 tsp (2⅔ tbsp) soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru) - Note: this ingredient is critical
  • 1 lb fresh green beans
  • Olive oil, salt, and pepper for roasting green beans
  • Jasmine or white rice
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp mayo
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 4 tsp honey
  • 4 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sriracha

Directions
  1. Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions. Preheat oven to 425° degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet (or line with parchment paper).
  2. Set rice to cook. (Don't forget! I always forget.)
  3. Slice the scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince the ginger (if using fresh).
  4. Combine ground beef, ground pork, panko, ginger, scallion whites, and 8 tsp soy sauce. Form in 1½-inch balls. Place on oiled/parchment-papered baking sheet.
  5. On a second baking sheet, toss green beans with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Roast meatballs on middle rack and green beans on top rack for 14-16 minutes.
  7. Make the sauce by combining all ingredients (sriracha to taste).
  8. Divide rice, meatballs, and green beans between bowls or plates. Drizzle sauce over meatballs. Garnish with scallion greens, sesame seeds, and chili flakes to taste.
