Ingredients

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 large egg

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoons ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1⁄4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all of the meatball ingredients until thoroughly combined. Set mixture aside for 5 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet or casserole dish with parchment paper or spray well with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie dough scoop (for small meatballs) to form balls from the meat mixture. Place the meatballs with just a bit of space between each one in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, checking to make sure the meatballs reach an internal temp of 165°F.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking time, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients (except for the cornstarch mixture) in a skillet or saucepan. Heat over medium until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Transfer the cooked meatballs into the sauce and toss gently to coat.
  • Toast a tablespoon of sesame seeds in a dry skillet for just a minute or two until they are lightly browned. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the glazed meatballs.
