CHICKEN MISO MEATBALLS



Chicken Miso Meatballs image

Ground chicken breast meat is fairly lean, so milk is added to this recipe to keep them moist and tender. As the meatballs bake, the miso caramelizes into savory bites of sweet-salty umami. Crumbled Ritz crackers add richness and create a more juicy meatball (but plain, dry bread crumbs will also work). To make the Ritz crumbs, place the crackers in a resealable plastic bag and lightly crush them with the back of a wooden spoon or measuring cup. These also make a tasty hors d'oeuvre: Simply roll the mixture into smaller 1-inch balls. For a quick dipping sauce, combine 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part distilled white vinegar, and add sliced scallions, or red-pepper flakes, if you like heat.

3/4 pound ground chicken
1 large egg
1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), or fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons white miso paste
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
If grilling:
Soy dipping sauce (such as Soy-Lime Dipping Sauce)

If poaching:
4 cups chicken broth or water
Kosher salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large egg
2 tablespoons bottled teriyaki glaze
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (see Cook's Note)
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons minced green onion
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Sesame-Ginger Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1 1/3 cups sweet chili sauce
1 cup bottled teriyaki glaze
2 tablespoons lime juice

1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Add the teriyaki glaze and sweet chili sauce, and whisk until incorporated.
  • Place the ground chicken in a large bowl. Add the egg mixture, then sprinkle in the ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Add the cilantro and green onions. Gently mix together by hand to avoid slopping over the side of the bowl. (Using kitchen gloves is more sanitary and less freaky.) Add the breadcrumbs and gently fold in by hand just until thoroughly incorporated; don't overmix (see Cook's Note).

TSUKUNE (JAPANESE CHICKEN MEATBALLS)



Tsukune (Japanese Chicken Meatballs) image

This is one of those foods that come in many different variations in Japan. They are served primarily on a stick but you can get them in soups, bentos, as a main dish, etc. It became a family favorite almost instantly (it needed some tweaks at first). I'm giving you my dinner recipe here, which I usually serve on a bed of Japanese rice with a side salad or sauteed enoki mushrooms.

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4 (5 meatballs each)

Number Of Ingredients 17

sunflower oil, for frying
500g chicken or turkey thigh mince
2 garlic cloves, grated to a purée
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
2cm piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 spring onions, trimmed and very finely chopped
2 tbsp red miso paste
200g rice noodles
1.2 litres chicken stock
2 red chillies, deseeded and finely sliced
3cm chunk of ginger, peeled and sliced
4 garlic cloves, halved
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal
100g baby spinach
1 lime, juiced, to serve

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.

TSUKUNE MISO NABE (CHICKEN-MEATBALL HOT POT IN MISO BROTH)



Tsukune Miso Nabe (Chicken-Meatball Hot Pot in Miso Broth) image

Naoko Takei Moore makes this comforting hot pot of ginger-spiked meatballs, mushrooms and tofu in a donabe, or Japanese clay pot. She sells them at Toiro, her Japanese cookware shop in Los Angeles, and has written a book on the topic, "Donabe: Classic and Modern Japanese Clay Pot Cooking" (Ten Speed Press, 2015). The traditional cookware can be used to cook rice, steam foods and even set up to work like a small grill. It's a wonderful, versatile piece of equipment, though if you don't have one, you can use another heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, and still turn out a beautiful meal. Have this hot pot on its own, or with a side of warm rice.

Categories     dinner, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground chicken
2 scallion greens, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon white miso
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 quart dashi
2 tablespoons mirin
3 teaspoons white tamari, or soy sauce
1/4 cup white miso
8 ounces mixed mushrooms, such as shimeji, maitake and enoki, sliced or torn roughly into bite-size pieces
14 ounces soft or medium-firm tofu, cut or scooped out into about 8 pieces
4 ounces spinach, pea shoots, rapini or other tender greens, cut into bite-size lengths
1 tablespoon roasted white sesame seeds
Ground yuzu shichimi togarashi, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, and knead with your hands until the mix is smooth and shiny. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to shape and cook.
  • Prepare the hot pot: Place a large donabe, Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring the dashi to a simmer. Add the mirin and tamari. Whisk in miso. (You can put the miso in a strainer and hold it directly in the broth as you whisk, so it dissolves smoothly.)
  • With wet hands, shape the chicken mixture into tablespoon-size balls to make about 30 meatballs, then drop them into the simmering broth. Add the mushrooms and tofu. (If using very delicate tofu, wait and add it with the greens.)
  • Bring the broth back up to a simmer, turn the heat down to low, and cover. Simmer gently until all the ingredients are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the greens, and cover for 1 more minute, then serve with sesame and togarashi.

MISO CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH GINGER MAYONNAISE



Miso Chicken Sandwiches with Ginger Mayonnaise image

This is one of my favorite new things to make. It is amazingly easy to put together, the chicken cooks quickly, and the resulting sandwich is fabulous! It's faster than take-out. When I first made these, I thought the chicken tasted a bit salty on it's own. But once it's all together in the sandwich, the flavors blend perfectly, and it wasn't salty at all. I did use low sodium soy sauce, by the way. It's one of those things that make you want to go back for more, even though you're already full, lol. From the Food Network Kitchens Cookbook...they use multigrain sandwich bread, we used nice crusty rolls.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 19m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup light colored miso
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium can be used)
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded very thin (1 lb total)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce or 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (we add extra)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 good crusty sandwich buns
1 Hass avocado, halved,seeded,peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup mixed sprouts

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Heat the broiler and line a broiler pan with foil, or you can grill the chicken.
  • Stir the miso, soy sauce, and ginger together and brush both sides of the chicken with the mixture.
  • Broil on the foil lined pan, 6 inches from the heat, or grill, turning once about 2 minutes per side until cooked through, set aside.
  • For the mayonnaise: Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, chili or hot sauce and sesame oil together in a bowl, set aside.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the chicken in pieces.
  • Cut the rolls open and spread the mayonnaise on the 2 halves of each, layer the chicken, avocado and cucumber slices, and sprouts on each roll.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your meatballs.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
  • Gently shape the meatballs. Don't pack them too tightly, or they will be dry.
  • Cook the meatballs until they are cooked through. A meat thermometer is the best way to check for doneness.
  • Serve the meatballs immediately. They are best when hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken meatballs with ginger and miso are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be served as a healthy snack. With their flavorful combination of chicken, ginger, and miso, these meatballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
