Instructions
Chicken meatballs:
- Start by combining the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg yolks, and soy sauce in a bowl. Rinse the spring onions and finely chop them, then add them to the bowl. Press the garlic and grate the ginger, incorporating both into the mixture. Use your hands to knead the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.450 g minced chicken, 1/2 dl panko bread crumbs, 2 egg yolks, 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1 spring onions, 1 clove of garlic, 1/2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take portions of the mixture and roll them into small meatballs, about 3 cm (1.2 inches) in diameter. Place the meatballs on the parchment-lined sheet with some space between them. You should yield about 40 meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs in the oven at 200 °C (392 °F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Teriyaki sauce:
- For the teriyaki sauce, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger powder, garlic powder, honey, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat while stirring. Bring it to a boil and continue stirring until the sauce thickens to a thick yet pourable consistency, then remove the pan from the heat.2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ginger powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tbsp corn starch
Stir-fried vegetables:
- For the stir-fried vegetables, rinse the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small florets. Wash the zucchini and slice it into julienne strips. Peel the carrots and also cut them into julienne.200 g broccoli, 1 zucchini, 3 carrots
- Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet. Sauté the broccoli and carrots until they reach your desired tenderness. Add the zucchini last to prevent it from becoming too soft, then drizzle in some soy sauce.1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp soy sauce
