Chicken meatballs with onions

 

Ingredients

Ground chicken...300g

Thick fried tofu...1/4 pack

Egg...1

Enoki mushrooms...1/4 pack

Green onion...1 stalk

Ginger paste (in a tube)

Sugar

Salt, pepper

Potato starch

Vegetable oil

Sake

Mirin

Soy sauce

Preparation

Separate the egg white and egg yolk.

Instructions

1. In a frying pan, combine the ground chicken, 1 teaspoon each of ginger paste and sugar, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Knead well until it becomes sticky. Add the fried tofu and egg white and mix well.

2. Cut the enoki mushrooms into 1cm lengths with kitchen scissors and add them to the mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of potato starch and mix everything together.

3. Gather the mixture into a ball, shape it into bite-sized oval patties, and arrange them with spaces in between.

4. In the empty spaces of the frying pan, add the green onions cut into 4cm lengths with kitchen scissors. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over everything and cook over medium-low heat. Once browned, flip and cook until both sides are golden brown.

5. Add 3 tablespoons each of sake and mirin, and 1 and 1/2 tablespoons each of sugar and soy sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, coating everything with the sauce. Serve on a plate, sprinkle with white sesame seeds if desired, and garnish with the egg yolk.
