Chicken Meatballs

These little skewered chicken meatballs are the perfect pre-game starter. I love their gingery kick, and the thin flour coating helps them brown better, giving them a nice flavourful caramelized crusty outside. This recipe works well for making chicken burgers too, with Gochujang Mayonnaise slathered on top.

Korean chicken meatballs

 

Ingredients

Makes 20 meatballs

  • 500g (1lb 2oz) chicken mince, preferably thigh meat
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced at an angle 2 tsp garlic, peeled and grated
  • 1 tbsp ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 50g (2oz) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp whole milk
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chilli paste)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 11⁄2 tsp sea salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • vegetable oil, for frying

TO SERVE

 

Method

  1. For the meatballs, in a large bowl, gently mix together the chicken mince, spring onions, garlic, ginger, egg, panko, milk, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into about 20 golf ball-sized (35g/11⁄4oz) meatballs. Spoon the flour onto a plate, then roll the meatballs in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium–high heat. Drizzle generously with oil. Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, place the meatballs in the pan and fry for about 5–6 minutes, until cooked through, rotating often to cook evenly.
  4. Serve the meatballs immediately with skewers, garnished with chives and sesame seeds, with Sriracha or gochujang mayonnaise on the side.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhip up these Mung Bean Pancakes for a traditional savoury treat. I have so many memories eating these totally addictive pancakes in Gwangjang market in Seoul. 

Packed with flavours from finely chopped cabbage kimchi, spring onions, and red chilli, these pancakes are a classic in Korean cooking. I like to add some pork for extra savouriness, and it’s all held together with blended mung beans for a crispy yet soft texture.

The accompanying dipping sauce, a blend of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and gochugaru, adds the perfect tangy and spicy kick to complement the pancakes.

Serve these pancakes hot with the special dipping sauce for a delicious fusion of flavours.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageDive into my latest cooking video where I blend the rich flavours of Korea with the classic French mussel dish, introducing my fusion creation: Doenjang and Gochujang Mussels.

Starting with the French tradition, I kick off with sautéed lardons (or bacon) to create a sumptuously rich base. Next, a generous amount of garlic and shallots join the mix, followed by the unique twist of sake and mirin for fragrance. 

Chicken stock creates the perfect broth, setting the stage for the stars of the dish: doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste) and gochujang (Korean fermented chilli paste), bringing an unmissable Korean flair and umami to the mussels. So tasty and the broth is so yummy to soak up with a piece of crusty French bread.
