Yield Makes about 20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

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)
Vegetable oil (for grill)
If poaching:
4 cups chicken broth or water
Kosher salt
If baking:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 carrots, diced
2 teaspoons mashed fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 scallions, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup peas
1 lb ground chicken
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 egg
3/4 cup rice, uncooked

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in stock pot; add onions and carrots.

  • Form 1 inch meatballs.
  • Drop into boiling stock.
  • Cook 30 more minutes, covered, on a low simmer. Add peas last 5 minutes of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground chicken: Using leaner ground chicken (93% lean or higher) will help reduce the fat content in the meatballs while still maintaining their flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a food processor to grind the chicken: This will ensure that the chicken is evenly ground and will help to create a smooth and consistent texture for the meatballs.
  • Add moisture to the meatballs: To prevent the meatballs from becoming dry, add some moisture in the form of beaten eggs, bread crumbs soaked in milk, or vegetable broth. This will help to keep the meatballs juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to season the meatballs generously with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make the meatballs more flavorful.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Make sure to cook the meatballs until they are cooked through to ensure that they are safe to eat. You can check if the meatballs are cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of one of the meatballs and making sure that it reads an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

Ginger chicken meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
