- 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce (low sodium)

Instructions
Making chicken meatballs
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- In a large bowl combine all of the meatball ingredients: 1 lb Ground chicken, 1 egg, 1 tsp grated ginger, ⅓ cup grated carrot, 1 tbsp minced white green onion, 2 tbsp chopped tops of green onion, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp tamari, 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tsp fish sauce, ¼ tsp kosher Salt, and ¼ tsp ground black Pepper. Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients together until evenly dispersed throughout the chicken.
- Grease a half sheet pan with cooking spray. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop into your hand, roll into a 1 inch ball, then place onto a sheet pan. Repeat with remaining meatball mixture, ensuring there is space in between each meatball on the pan.
- Roast meatballs for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature is 165°F. While the meatballs are baking, make the teriyaki sauce below.
- Once the meatballs are done, add them to a pan or a bowl and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top and toss them in the sauce until fully coated.
- Garnish with additional green onion and serve as is or over rice. Enjoy!
Making homemade teriyaki sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add in: ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup mirin, ¼ cup sake, 1 tsp ginger, and 1 tsp garlic. Mix and bring to a light simmer. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl add 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp water, whisk together to make a slurry.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in the slurry. Whisk for 30 seconds until thickened. Remove from heat.

Notes
- If the meatballs are not holding their shape, you can add another tablespoon of panko bread crumbs. The meatball mixture will be softer and more sticky than a traditional beef meatball when rolling, they will firm when cooking.
- If you do not have cooking spray you can rub olive oil onto the pan or use parchment paper below the meatballs.
- Homemade teriyaki sauce is easy to make, but if you’re in a pinch you can use store bought.
- When prepping the ingredients, grate the ginger and mince the garlic for both the meatballs and teriyaki sauce at the same time.
