To prepare, you can heat the Korean meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until they are warmed through, turning them occasionally. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated. For an even quicker option, they can be microwaved according to package directions. Once heated, they can be served as is, tossed in a sauce, or added to other dishes.
