- 1 lb (500g) boneless, skineless chicken thighs
- 1/4 small onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes black pepper
- oil for shallow frying
- 1/3 cup Japanese mirin sweet rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- white sesame optional
- Chopped scallion or cilantro optional
Blend the chicken, onion, garlic, egg white, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor until well combined. Wet both hands with some water and shape the ground chicken into meatballs and lay on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Heat up a pan or skillet with some oil, shallow fry the meatballs until lightly browned or cooked through.
Remove the excess oil from the pan or skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Japanese mirin, soy sauce and sugar. Stir well with the chicken meatballs. Simmer and cook until the sauce slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Top with sesame and chopped scallion or cilantro, if using. Dish out and serve immediately.
