Chicken Patties

Chicken Patties are made from ground chicken mixed with egg yolk, scallions, and a blend of seasonings including white pepper, cayenne, mirin, and sesame oil. The mixture is shaped into small patties and pan-fried with a little neutral cooking oil until cooked through. An optional homemade teriyaki sauce made from mirin, soy sauce, and sugar complements the patties well. The result is a tender, juicy chicken patty with balanced savory and slightly sweet flavors, enhanced by the optional sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. (500g) ground chicken thaw to room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 scallion cut into rounds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 dashes ground white pepper or black pepper
  • 3 dashes cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon mirin sweet cooking wine, optional, Japanese
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Teriyaki Sauce (Optional)
  • 1/3 cup mirin sweet rice wine, Japanese
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the ingredients and stir to mix well.
  2. To shape the ground chicken mixture into patties, wet both hands with water. Scoop up the mixture, form it into a ball, and then flatten it with your hands. Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the cooking oil. Transfer the chicken patties to the skillet and pan-fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side. If the center is not cooked through, continue to flip the patties back and forth until fully cooked.
  4. Combine all the ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat, reducing the sauce to a thicker consistency for about 10 minutes. Serve the chicken patties with the teriyaki sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Avoid using breadcrumbs or coating the patties to retain moisture and prevent dryness.
  • Use only a small amount of neutral oil to shallow fry; deep frying is not recommended.
  • Adding mirin or white wine to the chicken mixture enhances juiciness and flavor.
  • If doubling the recipe, one whole egg (including white) can be used instead of just yolk.
  • Pan-fry at medium-low heat, flipping patties as necessary until cooked through without burning.
