Chicken meatballs on sticks - Japanese style
 
Recipe by my friend Toya

Prep time: 15mn
Cooking time: 10mn

For about 24 balls / Serves 3-4
Ingredients
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 stalks of spring onions
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons flour + a few more to roll the meatballs
  • 1 egg
  • Teriyaki sauce (choose a good one, that's what give its flavour to the dish)
  • salt pepper
  • small wooden sticks
Instructions
  1. Cut roughly the chicken breasts and the spring onions. Add them in a food processor and blitz together.
  2. Add the egg, bread crumbs, flour and a little salt and pepper. And mix again until well-blended.
  3. Flour your hands and form balls a little smaller than a ping pong ball. Put 3 chicken balls on each stick.
  4. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil (sunflower or coconut) in a large pan. Arrange the stick on the pan and cook them 3 minutes on each side over medium heat. The best is to use a meat tongs to turn the sticks without deforming them or burning yourself.
  5. When the two sides of the chicken alls are well browned, deglaze with the Teriyaki sauce. Let reduce over low heat for 2 minutes then flip the sticks so that they are well coated with sauce. Simmer 2 more minutes.
  6. Serve immediately with rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
