Korean meatballs with rice and greens
Sweet, spicy, ginger-forward meatballs that taste like they simmered for hours but won't keep you in the kitchen long. The shelf does the heavy lifting here, so you're just warming and building a meal around it with rice and something green to cut the richness.

To buy
- 4 ounces baby spinach or bok choy
From your shelf
- 1 package korean-style beef & pork meatballs, korean-style (Good & Gather)
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 cup, cooked rice
- Cook 1 cup rice according to package directions while you work. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the meatballs straight from the package and cook without stirring for 3 minutes so they brown on one side, then turn and cook another 2 minutes until warmed through and lightly browned. The sauce on them will heat and concentrate.
- Push the meatballs to the side of the pan and add 4 ounces spinach or bok choy, stirring until it wilts in the pan heat and the meatballs' sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Note Swap the greens for roasted broccoli or a cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar. Leftovers keep for three days and reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water. Spoon everything over rice and serve with a cold glass of beer.
