Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) boneless, skineless chicken thighs
- 1/4 small onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes black pepper
- oil for shallow frying
- 1/3 cup Japanese mirin sweet rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- white sesame optional
- scallion or cilantro, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Blend the chicken, onion, garlic, egg white, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until well combined. Wet your hands with water, shape the ground chicken into meatballs, and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a pan or skillet with some oil and shallow-fry the meatballs until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
- Remove the excess oil from the pan or skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Japanese mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir well with the chicken meatballs. Simmer and cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Top with sesame seeds and chopped scallions or cilantro, if desired. Dish out and serve immediately.
