→ For the Teriyaki Sauce
08 -
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
09 -
2 teaspoons cornstarch
10 -
2 teaspoons minced garlic
11 -
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
12 -
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
13 -
60 milliliters honey
14 -
60 milliliters low sodium chicken broth
15 -
80 milliliters low sodium tamari or soy sauce
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Dish it out warm on rice. Throw on some green onions, sesame, or chili flakes—whatever you like. Maybe even toss in some veggies.
02 -
After baking, put the meatballs in a big pan on medium flame. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, swirl it all around, and let them bubble and thicken for about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir often so everything's glossy and covered.
03 -
Mix your soy sauce, broth, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and vinegar in a bowl. Whisk until you can’t see any clumps.
04 -
Slide the tray in the oven and cook those meatballs for 25 minutes. Take them out when they look golden and are cooked all the way.
05 -
Scoop out the mix with a tablespoon (or a small scoop), roll them into balls, and spread them out on your tray so they're not too close together.
06 -
In a decent-sized bowl, throw in the chicken, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, garlic, some salt, and pepper. Mix it gently with your hands or a spoon. Don’t overdo it.
07 -
Crank your oven up to 200°C. Cover a baking tray with parchment so nothing sticks.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
These meatballs can hang out in the fridge for up to 3 days minus the sauce. Great for meal prep.
02 -
Try turkey instead of chicken if you want to change things up.
03 -
Using real ginger in the sauce gives it that fresh punchy taste.
04 -
Make sure any breadcrumbs and your tamari are certified gluten-free if you're avoiding gluten.
05 -
Double up the sauce if you're into pouring extra over everything.
