Korean Gochujang Meatballs
These Gochujang Meatballs make a great appetizer or make them a meal with some brown rice and kimchi. Also great for meal prep! I have TONS of meatball recipes here. Try these Italian Turkey Meatballs, Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, Sheet Pan Turkey Meatball Dinner and these Chicken Romano Meatballs, to name a few.
I’m obsessed with gochujang, a thick, spicy red chili paste and one of the backbone ingredients of Korean cooking. I love the kick and depth of flavor that it adds to everything you stir it into — a little goes a long way. This dish is excellent as an appetizer served with toothpicks, or make it a main dish for dinner over rice for 4 servings by increasing the the meatballs, about 5 per person.
Tips To Meal Prep Gochujang Meatballs
This also makes a great meal prep dish! To meal prep for 4 days, you will need 3 cups cooked brown rice. You can cook the rice or buy frozen brown rice for convenience (I love Trader Joes!). Divide 3/4 cup brown rice per serving with 5 meatballs and transfer to meal prep containers. I love these glass meal prep jars . Refrigerate for the week. To reheat, microwave 2 to 3 minutes, until hot. You can also freeze them in a freezer safe meal prep container, then transfer to the refrigerator the day before eating.
