Garlic Ginger Chicken Meatball Bowls Recipe

Ingredients:

• Chicken Meatballs:
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
• 1/2 onion, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sake
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• Sauce:
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• Additional:
• 1 teaspoon sesame seed
• 2 cups chopped mixed stir-fry vegetables (such as red bell pepper, carrots, snow peas, broccoli, and onions, or more to taste)
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, ginger, onion, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, sake, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, and sliced green onions. Mix gently until well combined.
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
3. For the sauce, whisk together 2 teaspoons light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, water, and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Set the sauce aside.
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, carefully lower the chicken meatballs into the water using a spider or slotted spoon, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the meatballs float to the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Remove the cooked meatballs from the pot with the spider or slotted spoon and set them aside.
6. Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the cooked chicken meatballs and cook for about 3 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
7. Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs in the wok. Add the chopped mixed vegetables and toss to combine. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
8. To serve, place 1/2 cup of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl or on each plate. Top with the cooked vegetables and chicken meatballs. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
