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.

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 imageI have been a long time fan of @chefjuntanaka food. Real gorgeous flavors, simple in concept, and flawlessly executed. His reopened @theninthlondon (closed temporarily after a fire) is one of the coziest and tastiest meals in London. Excellent sourced seafood and produce make for exceedingly fresh dishes including crudos and tartars seasoned delicately just enough to coax out the fish’s natural sweetness and flavors. The dining room was bustling and every table was full— and I can taste why! The gnudi with wild garlic was exceedingly light and fluffy, the chu toro crudo was buttery, lightly salted and kissed with grassy olive oil, and practically melted on my tongue. The whole baked sea bass with umami filled white miso was wonderfully balanced with tart preserved lemon. I also indulge upon a cracking dessert, Choux au Craquelin— a single mammoth choux bun decadently stuffed with fresh pistachio ice cream (probably the best I have had) and a silky dark chocolate ganache.  Still dreaming of it! 
Thank you @chefjuntanaka @theninthlondon @frasercomms!

Spicy, sweet, salty and savory—everything that you want in a ham. The best part though is using the leftovers the next day for sandwiches. Recipe is on @todayfood website. HAPPY EASTER everyone! Xx
