Chicken Meatballs in Teriyaki Sauce
Ingredients
  • 5 ounces ground chicken
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms, cut in half
  • 1 3/4 ounces daikon (Japanese radish), sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
1
Combine ground chicken with minced spring onions and gently fold in the mixture of 1 tablespoon of Japanese sake, 1 tablespoon of water, cornstarch, grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce in a bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive, smooth paste. Form this mixture into round shapes.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large wok or deep skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs and cook until they develop a nice brown color on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and thinly sliced daikon; stir-fry the ingredients until they are evenly coated with oil, about 1 minute.
3
Pour a mixture of 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of Japanese sake, mirin, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and sugar into the wok. Cover the wok with a lid and let it simmer gently until all the flavors have melded together, about 10 minutes.
