Savory Sesame Ginger Chicken Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture, and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
- With your hands, form the chicken mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
- Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes, rotating them occasionally until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Once done, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm by drizzling extra soy sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top if desired.
