Sweet And Sour Korean Cocktail Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, use your hands to gently combine garlic, ginger, 3 tablespoons gochujang, beef, pork, egg, and 1 tablespoon salt just until evenly combined (do not overwork, or meatballs will be dense and tough). Scoop 1 tablespoon of mixture into your palm; gently roll into a ball and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Meatballs can be formed, loosely covered, and refrigerated on sheet up to 1 day.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in 2 tablespoons safflower oil. Add halfof meatballs in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places and a crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and brown remaining meatballs in remaining safflower oil.
• Wipe skillet clean. Combine ketchup, remaining 2 tablespoons gochujang, vinegar, sesame oil, 1/2 cup water, and brown sugar in skillet; bring to a simmer over medium. Carefully add meatballs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and meatballs are just cooked through and evenly coated, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl, sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve warm, with toothpicks.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs and onion. Mix thoroughly and shape into golf ball-sized balls.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, gently brown the meatballs and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour, water, white vinegar and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly. Add meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl combine and mix: ground meat, sugar, black pepper, dry ginger, soy sauce, the tapioca or cornstarch, minced onion and(the water chestnuts if using).
• Knead above for at least two minutes to insure proper marination, form into even sized balls.
• Fry in oil and drain (I never fry my meatballs, I put them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about twenty minutes or until done.).
• Meanwhile make the Sweet and Sour Sauce: in sauce pot on medium heat whisk together vinegar, sugar, tomato paste, the tapioca starch or cornstarch, the cup of water (or water/pineapple juice mix) Bring to boil stirring while cooking. (I find using a whisk to stir works very well).
• When mixture reaches boiling point add the meatballs and heat through.
• Add the carrots, peppers and pineapple chunks and cook until vegetables are 'just done'. Do not overcook.
• NOTE: This can be made ahead and refrigerated. It can then be quickly reheated in the microwave and kept hot in a Crockpot. This freezes well.
• I also find cooking the carrots separately and then adding, assures they don't get overcooked.

• Mash bread and milk into paste in large bowl using fork.

• Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Microwave onion, oil, red pepper flakes, and remaining 2 garlic cloves in a bowl, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes; transfer to slow cooker.
• Stir tomato sauce, apricot jam, broth, Worcestershire, and mustard in slow cooker.
• Transfer meatballs to slow cooker, discarding rendered fat.
• Cover and cook until meatballs are tender, 4-6 hours on LOW.
• Let meatballs and sauce settle for 5 minutes, then remove fat from surface using large spoon.
• Gently stir in scallions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Make the sauce by whisking all ingredients together. "You might have some left over. Keep it you can use it later for something else".
