RECIPE:


For the meatballs:

  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or mirin)

  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably dark soy sauce)

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch


Other ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)


In a large bowl combine ground chicken with breadcrumbs, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, green onions, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Take 2 spoonfuls of the ground chicken mixture at a time and roll into meatballs. Set aside on a plate.

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Stir the meatballs occasionally to brown evenly.

    • Alternatively, you can bake the meatballs in a 400F preheated oven for 15 minutes until fully cooked through..You can also deep fry the meatballs (5-7 minutes) or cook in an air fryer in batches at 350F for 12-14 minutes per batch.

  2. While cooking the meatballs, prepare the sauce in a small mixing bowl by combining soy sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, brown sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch. Mix well until smooth.

  3. Stir in the sauce and bell peppers. Toss well and cook until the sauce simmers, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. Cover the lid and cook until the meatballs are fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve warm with a bowl of rice.
