Upon first bite, the meatball immediately and intensely recalled the flavor of ddeok galbi. Clearly, they must’ve had leftover ground meat seasoned with ddeok galbi seasonings and decided to form them into meatballs, add tomato sauce, and rebrand the package as “Italian.”
Didn’t really work with pasta, but maybe with rice in a Korean spread.
