For the meatballs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 300 g vegan meatballs
- 1 small white onion thinly sliced
- 1 small red pepper thinly sliced
For the sauce
- 3 tablespoon gochujang
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch root ginger minced
Garnish (optional)
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 5 chives finely chopped

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan then add the meatballs. Fry the meatballs for 5 minutes until just browning.
Add the onion and red pepper to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the meatballs are cooked through and vegetables softened.
Next stir together the sauce ingredients until smooth. Add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out into a sauce consistency.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs and heat it until it starts to bubble and the dish is hot through.
Garnish with your choice of toppings and serve.
