Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or pork
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Bamboo skewers (pre-soaked in water)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, Panko breadcrumbs, green onions, grated onion, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Take a handful of the mixture and form it into a small meatball shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Preheat your grill or heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Thread the meatballs onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers.
- Grill the meatballs over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely browned on all sides. If using a pan, cook them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, brush them with the sauce or serve the sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
