    That sounds like something I use to say after a hot date ;)
    On a more serious note, great looking grub.

    Looks great...
    Looks like you used black pepper instead of white.
    I'm pepper ignorant so excuse me, but is there a flavor difference or is "mainly" presentation to use white pepper instead of black pepper?
    Thanks

    As you considered, it’s more about presentation for me but here’s a good description of the differences.  In a recipe like this it doesn’t matter much.

    Thank you, excellent description in your link. I thought the white and black pepper were a completely different beast. Had no idea about the post processing.

    Dayum @bgebrent, these are incredible. Had to use the oven instead of the Egg because of time, and cut back the Gochujang by a quarter because my bride doesn’t like really hot food. I also mixed ground pork 50/50 with some 80/20 ground beef. Will definitely add these to a regular rotation. Also made some store bought potstickers in case they were too hot for my wife:

    Giving these a shot on Sunday. Ground beef was $5.50 a pound so found a brisket point on sale. Will grind it up Sunday morning.

    @Photo Egg I’ve used that brand it’s good stuff. Not very spicy compared to others I have had so don’t stress over adding too much.

    Excellent, really appreciate the info. The 2 other kinds were both a sauce.

    @Photo Egg yeah that’s the only one our convenience grocery store had that wasn’t like a glaze/sauce but real paste. 

    I just came out of the garage with all the ingredients for these. I guess it’s gonna be a Korean meatball kinda week on the forum.

    One would think that these would be well received at an event like Butt Blast. Which happens to be coming up in a few weeks.

    Just sayin'...

    Tried these tonight with a little Apple smoke on a bed of @Possumtrot ‘s Asian cole slaw and rice. 

    The apricot mixed with the peanut butter in the slaw and the smoke / chili paste was on point. 

    The heat lingered just enough for a second helping.

    @bgebrent I froze the extra uncooked ones and will see if they hold to cook. 

    If so this would be a stupid easy dish for for the Blast.

    It wii freeze and hold well.  We’re doing “pizza meatballs” at B.B., more kid friendly.  Glad you liked it.  Something different is always good.

    One of our cats is an abominable bumble.  He’d crush Maddie.  That said, they’ll be staying home protecting the ‘stead.

    Made a triple batch tonight to cook tomorrow.
    Test cooked a couple in a skillet. I did not make up the sauce yet but they were pretty damn good as is. Can't wait to grill them with a little smoke. Thanks to everyone for all the tips and keeping this post going!

    Cooked the rest on Sunday after prepping the night before. I thought the 2 test meatballs tasted better right after making them then they did the next day. The individual fresh minced pieces were much more apparent. Especially the ginger. But they were still great and a real winner with the guests.

    Thank you,
