- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 2 tablespoons mirin

Spicy Korean Glaze
- Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until simmering (whisking regularly to prevent burning).
- Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use. Reheat quickly over medium heat when ready to use.
Notes
- Don't use PAM or it's equivalent as it will damage the basket. Use an oil sprayer with your favorite oil.
- Don't crowd the meatballs in the air fryer - make sure they are in a single layer so they cook properly.
- Make as many batches as you want. Just double/triple/etc. the ingredients for the glaze for more meatballs.
- Shaking the meatballs halfway through gives them a chance to brown on all sides.
- Substitute vegan meatballs to make this recipe vegan.
