Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Put the ground meat, scallion, ginger, salt, and starch slurry in a bowl and mix evenly, then add the ketchup.
  2. Knead step 1 in one direction and let the seasoning soak into the meat.
  3. Cut the bok choy into 1cm squares.
  4. Knead step 2 again until sticky, then shape into meatballs 1.5cm in diameter.
  5. Add water to a pan and when it boils, add the meatballs and cook.
  6. Add the bok choy and boil briefly, season with salt, and boil until a little sauce remains.
💡 TipTo keep the meatballs from breaking, put lukewarm water in the bowl holding the meatballs.
