Chicken Meatballs With Ginger And Miso Recipes

GINGER CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, ginger, minced scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and kosher salt together in a large bowl.
• Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the meatballs with canola oil. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 13 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH GINGER AND MISO

Steps:

• Combine chicken, egg, panko, scallions, soy sauce, miso paste, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, roll mixture into 1" balls, packing firmly. Transfer balls to a rimmed baking sheet or large plate.
• For grilling:
• Divide soy dipping sauce between 2 bowls (half for serving and half for brushing meatballs while cooking). If using wooden skewers, soak 15 minutes. Thread 2 skewers through each meatball, with 2-3 meatballs per pair of skewers.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat, or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Generously oil grates or grill pan. Grill meatballs until light grill marks form, 3-4 minutes. Turn and continue to grill until outside of meatballs are browned, 2 minutes longer.Brush meatballs with sauce, then turn and brush again. Baste and turn until meatballs are glazed and cooked through, about 1 minute more (if they start to burn, reduce heat or move to a cooler part of the grill). Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
• For poaching:
• Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium-low heat; season with salt. Add meatballs and cook, covered, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• For baking:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a glass or metal baking dish with oil.
• Roll meatballs in oil until coated. Roast until meatballs are firm and cooked through (a meat thermometer inserted into the center should read 165°F), about 15 minutes.
• Let meatballs cool 5 minutes in baking dish before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Meatballs can be formed, but not cooked, 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill.

MISO CHICKEN MEATBALLS IN BROTH

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs and season well. With wet hands, shape them into balls about the size of a walnut. Put them on a baking tray, cover and chill for about 30 mins.
• Heat about 1½ tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and cook the meatballs in two batches, or use two pans, adding more oil if you need it. You need a good colour on the outside. Turn the heat down to cook the meatballs through, rolling them in the miso juices they release as they cook. It will take about 8-10 mins to cook each batch. Cook the rice noodles for 1 min less than pack instructions, drain and set aside.
• Heat the stock in a saucepan and add 1 chilli, the ginger and garlic. Simmer for 4 mins. Add the meatballs and soy and simmer gently for 3 mins, then add the spring onions, rice noodles, spinach and the rest of the chilli. Add a little lime to taste, then divide between bowls and serve.
