- Large skillet
Instructions
Step 1: Put the meatball ingredients in a bowl.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of the water until smooth. Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar, then mix.
Step 3: Add 2 teaspoons of the teriyaki sauce to the meatball mixture.
Step 4: Add the remaining water to the sauce and mix. Set it aside.
Step 5: Mix the meatball mixture with your hands. Measure out 1 heaped tablespoon at a time and roll into balls.
Tip: If the mixture is too sticky, see the ingredient notes for ways to make it easier to roll.
Step 6: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 5 minutes, rolling them to brown all over. They will still be a little raw inside.
Step 7: Turn the heat down. Quickly mix the sauce again, then add it to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens into a glossy coating on the meatballs.
Step 8: Serve over rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Ingredient notes
For the soy sauce, use ordinary all-purpose soy sauce. A mix of equal parts light and dark soy sauce is another option; light soy sauce alone is also suitable.
Cooking sake can be replaced with Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry. Mirin is important to the teriyaki flavor, and no suitable substitute is offered.
If the chicken mixture is too wet to roll, refrigerate it for 30 minutes or lightly oil your hands. Add extra breadcrumbs only if needed.
