- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
Aromatics and Herbs:
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Spicy Mayo Dip Ingredients:
Base:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend ground meat with aromatic herbs, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and seasoning until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gently roll the meat mixture into uniform spherical portions, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (around 375°F), carefully positioning meatballs to prevent overcrowding.
- Rotate meatballs every 2-3 minutes, allowing each surface to develop a rich golden-brown exterior, cooking approximately 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- While meatballs are sizzling, swiftly combine creamy mayonnaise, zesty sriracha, tangy rice vinegar, and finely chopped green onions in a compact mixing bowl, whisking until ingredients meld into a smooth, vibrant sauce.
- Transfer perfectly cooked meatballs to a serving platter, accompanied by the spicy mayo dip, garnishing with additional sliced green onions for a fresh, colorful presentation.
Notes
- Adjust meatball size for consistent cooking, ensuring each bite has the same delicious flavor and texture.
- Use lean ground meat to reduce excess grease while maintaining juiciness and preventing dry meatballs.
- Test one meatball first to check seasoning before cooking entire batch, allowing quick flavor adjustments if needed.
- Replace regular mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for healthier or dietary-specific alternatives in the spicy dip.
