Instructions

Combine ground meat, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and green onions in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently until everything is combined.
Form the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until they are browned and cooked through.
Whisk together soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger in a separate bowl for the sauce.
Mix mayonnaise with gochujang, lime juice, honey, and garlic powder until smooth for the spicy mayo dip.

Notes
