Korean BBQ-Style Meatballs (Kay Chun, NYT Cooking)

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef/pork/chicken
• ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
• ½ cup chopped scallions
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Sambal to taste

Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and use your hands to gently mix.

Shape the meat into rounds (about 1 inch in diameter), and arrange on a greased rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
