This recipe is a crowd pleaser and I often make a double batch because it taste so good the next day. The combination of ginger and the Korean red pepper add a nice zing to the broth. I bet this becomes one of your favorite go-to recipes too!
Double Duty Recipe: Make a batch or two of the meatballs and freeze to use later. Crowd a couple into a steamed bun and top with sriracha or serve on top of a mound of warm jasmine rice and a little soy sauce for a second meal.
