Time 45m

Yield 8 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup julienned carrot
1 cup julienned daikon
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sambal (Asian chile-garlic sauce)
1 pound ground chicken (50/50 white and dark meat)
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 egg, whisked
3 scallions, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for the pan
8 soft Hawaiian buns
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
8 bamboo skewers

Steps:

  • For the quick-pickles: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot and daikon and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.
  • For the sauce: Bring the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, vinegar and sambal to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, panko, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, scallions and some salt and pepper. Mix well to combine, but don't overwork. Form the mixture into eight 2-inch balls.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with canola oil. Add the meatballs and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked though. Baste generously with sauce during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • To assemble the sliders: Serve the meatballs on the buns, topping each with a tablespoon of the quick-pickles (drained) and some cilantro leaves. Secure with bamboo skewers and serve on a large platter with extra sauce on the side.

These sliders were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious.

These sliders were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less Sriracha sauce if you don't like spicy food.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the pickled carrot and daikon were delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would make sure to add more moisture to the meatballs.

These sliders were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought teriyaki sauce and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sliders turned out perfect! The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and the pickled carrot and daikon added a nice tangy flavor. I served them with a side of sriracha mayonnaise and they were a hit!
