Teriyaki Cheese Ball Recipes

TERIYAKI CHICKEN AND RICE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Skewer tenders individually and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, and cornstarch. Divide sauce evenly into 2 small bowls.
• Brush 1 bowl of soy and mirin mixture evenly over chicken tenders. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until tenders are cooked through. Remove chicken from oven and brush remaining bowl of soy and mirin mixture evenly over cooked tenders.
• Empty rice into a small saucepan, add 2 tablespoons water, and cook on medium until heated through, breaking up with a spoon and adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed. Transfer rice to a medium bowl and let cool slightly; add vinegar and mash with a fork until the rice is sticky.
• With wet hands, press and squeeze a heaping tablespoon of rice into a ball. Repeat until all rice is used (about 8 rice balls). Sprinkle rice balls evenly with furikake, gently pressing seasoning into rice. Serve with chicken tenders.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
• Meanwhile prepare sauce: Combine pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
• Mix cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; add to the sauce. Stir and simmer until desired thickness, 3 to 5 minutes. Add meatballs and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
