I had a craving for a very moist, chicken meatball one day. I love Asian flavors. This is the result. This has become one of our standard meals. We usually serve with a vegetable stir-fry and rice. Don't be scared off by the large amounts of garlic and ginger, it cooks into a mellow yet flavorful blend of seasonings.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs ground chicken breast (raw)
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
5 cloves garlic
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
6 -8 green onions, peeled
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons wheat-free tamari soy sauce or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock or 1/4 cup chicken broth
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop ginger, garlic and green onions.
  • Place in bowl of food processor.
  • Add water chestnuts to food processor.
  • Grind until a thick paste forms.
  • There will still be some small pieces of water chestnut.
  • Remove paste, place in mixing bowl.
  • Add sesame oil, soy sauce, broth and egg to water chestnut paste.
  • Add chicken.
  • Combine all ingredients until well blended.
  • Heat large skillet, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan (to help prevent sticking).
  • Using hands, or a small scoop, form a ball of meat about the size of a golf ball, place in the hot skillet.
  • The meat mixture is very wet and loose, it will not hold it's shape well, so keep the balls small or they will flatten as they cook.
  • Saute meatballs about 2 minutes or until browned on bottom, turn gently to an uncooked side, and continue cooking.
  • Keep turning the meatballs as they cook, so that all sides are browned evenly.
  • Cut a meatball open to test for doneness by verifying that it is cooked through to the center.
  • Remove cooked meatballs and keep warm until all are done.
  • Serve plain, or with your favorite dipping sauce.

ASIAN-STYLE CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup sambal oelek
2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
8 ounces ground chicken
4 ounces canned water chestnuts, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
2 scallions, whites thinly sliced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves finely chopped
Kosher salt
1 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the sambal, the soy sauce, ginger, chicken, water chestnuts, garlic, scallions, cilantro and 2 tablespoons water (this will keep the meatballs really moist!). Use your hands to squish the mixture together until combined.
  • Form a little tester patty and then cook and taste to make sure the chicken is really delicious. If the seasoning isn't just right, add a little more soy sauce or a sprinky-dink of salt. When you're confident the meatball mix is perfectly seasoned, form the meatballs.
  • Roll the meatballs in the peanuts, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast until meatballs are cooked through, 12 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and the remaining 2 tablespoons sambal. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve the meatballs hot with the chili-mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, ground chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
  • Be careful not to overmix the chicken mixture, or the meatballs will be tough.
  • Use a spoon or a small cookie scoop to form the meatballs for even sizing.
  • Don't overcrowd the meatballs in the pan when cooking. Give them enough space to brown evenly.
  • Serve the chicken meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce or glaze.

Conclusion:

These Asian-style chicken meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With their blend of savory and sweet flavors, these meatballs are a unique and flavorful dish that will tantalize your taste buds.
