Let’s Oh Na Mi this! 💥

⁠1. In a skillet over medium heat, reduce the beef stock until it thickens slightly. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped garlic, onion, celery, carrot, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Add a portion of the reduced beef stock to the mixture for added flavor and moisture. Mix well.⁠
⁠
2. Shape the meat mixture into meatballs of your desired size.⁠
Preheat your oven to 190°C.⁠
⁠
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Oh Na Mi Gochujang, ketchup, soy sauce, and honey to create the glaze.⁠

4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Brush the gochujang glaze over the meatballs as they cook. This will create a flavorful and slightly sticky glaze.⁠
Once the meatballs are nicely glazed, transfer them to a baking dish and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.⁠
⁠
5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the Korean salad. In a large bowl, combine the torn Napa cabbage leaves, julienned carrot, and julienned cucumber.⁠

6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, tahini, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil to create the sesame dressing.
Pour the sesame dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

7. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven.
Serve the gochujang-glazed meatballs over the Korean salad. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
