Korean Turkey Meatballs in Sesame-Soy Sauce Recipe
These small meatballs are a lighter version of popular Korean meat snacks, often served with beer or at family gatherings. Ground turkey is delicate, and the salty-sweet sesame sauce makes them disappear from the plate faster than you can count them. You can serve them either as a party appetizer or as a main dish with rice.

Ingredients
- ground turkey - 400 g
- onion finely chopped - 60 g
- garlic grated or finely chopped - 2 clove
- breadcrumbs - 25 g
- egg - 1 piece
- soy sauce divided between the meat and the sauce - 40 ml
- honey - 20 g
- rice vinegar - 10 ml
- sesame oil - 10 ml
- water for the sauce - 60 ml
- sesame seeds toasted - 7 g
- vegetable oil for frying the meatballs - 20 ml
- black pepper to taste - 1 g
- salt to taste, carefully, as soy sauce is salty - 2 g
Main Ingredient:
turkey
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, onion, half of the garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, 10 ml soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Knead with your hand for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and uniform.
- Form small meatballs from the mixture, about the size of a walnut, lightly wetting your hands with water so the meat doesn’t stick. You should get about 20–24 pieces.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Arrange the meatballs with some space between them and fry for 8–10 minutes, turning every few minutes, until evenly browned on all sides and cooked through in the center.
- While the meatballs are frying, prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, water, the rest of the garlic, and sesame oil until the honey dissolves.
- When the meatballs are done, pour off any excess fat from the pan, leaving only a thin layer.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the meatballs. Cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, gently shaking the pan or turning the meatballs until the sauce thickens and coats the meat in a glossy layer.
- Sprinkle the meatballs with toasted sesame seeds and toss so the seeds stick well to the sauce. Serve immediately, preferably warm.

Klopsiki przechowuj w lodówce w sosie, w szczelnym pojemniku. Do odgrzania dodaj 1–2 łyżki wody i podgrzej na małym ogniu pod przykryciem. Możesz je też zamrozić bez sosu, a sos przygotować świeży po rozmrożeniu.
