Creating these Korean BBQ Meatball Rice Bowls can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.

5. Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the Korean BBQ sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and gochujang in a small bowl.

6. Coat Meatballs: Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce until well coated.

7. Prepare Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and hot.

8. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, create a base of cooked rice. Top with a generous portion of the Korean BBQ meatballs.

9. Add Vegetables: Garnish with julienned carrots, sliced cucumbers, and chopped cilantro.

10. Finish with Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added crunch and flavor.
