Many people asked me what kind of food I feed our son. Thankfully, our son Bryson eats well. He seems to like both Korean and American food. Today, I will share one recipe that my son loves: Korean style baby meatballs. They are made by simply grinding all the ingredients together in a mixer and frying them. These can be good for a snack, appetizer, or main dish. They are very tender and delicious meatballs.
Yield: 1 Cup

Main Ingredients
Directions
Add all the ingredients in a mixer (or blender).
Grind for about 1 minute on high speed, or until all the ingredients stick together well.
Put the ground mixture into a zipper bag.
Cut the edge off (about ½-inch) of the zipper bag with a scissors.
Squeeze the bag to get a ½-inch sized ball. Tip: cut it with a chopstick or dull knife.
You can cut the bag for other sizes.
Fry them for 5 minutes on medium high, or until they become golden brown. Sometimes stir them so the surface will cook evenly.
For adults, you can just scoop the mixture in the pan with a spoon, without the need to use a zipper bag.
I made some of these for my son and made some beef patties for my husband and me. Served them with buttered garlic spaghetti, a green leafy salad, and grapes. It was a very delicious meal. Try it someday.
Hi Aeri 언니!!
My family and I have just moved to Korea. But, since I don’t have a mother, I have to do most of the cooking. I need more side dishes please!! But the thing is, my dad cannot afford very much. He usually gives me 5-15 WON every week for me to buy ingredients. Can you upload some more cheap, side dishes? 감사합니다!!
아, 맞다, 한국 음식으로 해주세요. 우리 아빠가 외국음식을 잘 못먹어요…. ㅠㅠ
I made your 갯잎볶음 yesterday. It was soooooo delicious! 😀

Hi Aeri,
I’m Korean American living in Korea now. I love cooking, but never was good at cooking Korean food. Right now I’m 8 months pregnant, taking maternity leave in two weeks. I can’t wait to try out your recipes. I wrote down your pickled cucumbers, steamed eggs, kimchi pancakes. Thank you so much for posting these videos.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.. hope you have a safe delivery and meet your lovely baby in right time. God bless you and your family. thanks
Dear Aerie,
Thank you for such a wonderful site. I regularly wander around your recipes and have made many of them. They’re absolutely delicious and your instructions are very clear.
I was excited to make this and it came out quite delicious. I’m wondering how firm should the meatballs be once cooked? I found that because they are so small and cute, my meatballs became rather dry while they were just frying to get brown. The only thing I might do differently is steam them a bit with some water with a cover while they’re in the pan and then brown them.
your idea sounds good.. mine was not that dry though… but it can be dry.. so.. yes try your method.. ^^ thanks happy to hear that you liked it
