Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  4. Form mixture into 1½-inch meatballs (about 20-22) and place on the other side of the baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle remaining sesame oil over meatballs and bake for 14-16 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  6. For the BBQ sauce, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and gochujang in a saucepan; bring to boil.
  7. Mix cornstarch with water; whisk into boiling sauce until thickened.
  8. Coat baked meatballs in BBQ sauce and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
