Ingredients

6 servings

  • 1 lb chicken, ground
  • ¼ cup green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs, if needed to form meatballs
  • sesame seed, to garnish
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup sake
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • bamboo skewer, 6-inch (15cm)

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, combine all ingredients for glaze and bring to a boil until the bubbles start to become sticky and glossy.
  • Combine the ground chicken, green onions, ginger, sesame oil, and ¼ cup (60 ml) of the soy glaze in a bowl until evenly mixed.
  • If the mixture does not hold its shape when rolled into a ball, add in panko breadcrumbs, mix evenly, and re-roll the meatballs to test their structural integrity.
  • Roll about 1-inch (2 ½ cm) meatballs, then skewer 3-4 meatballs on a skewer. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Sear 3-4 skewers at a time and flip when the undersides are golden brown.
  • Brush the glaze on the skewers evenly and cook for about 5 more minutes, flipping every minute and brushing additional glaze as necessary.
  • Cool and serve!
  • Enjoy!
