<strong>Ground beef</strong>

To give these meatballs some serious topspin, we’ve thrown them a Korean curve. A combination of soy sauce and gochujang—the fermented red chili paste—packs some heat into the ground beef. Asian greens and diced butternut squash get a dusting of sesame-ginger seasoning before roasting to tenderness. You’ll fluff a little ready-to-go kimchi into the jasmine rice, along with a splash of rice vinegar and a dash of hot stuff to the mayonnaise, and the circle of comfort is complete.
