Tsumire - Japanese Nabe Meatballs

Description

I put down measurements for all the ingredients, but in reality I don't measure. I just guesstimate based on whatever amounts of ingredients I have. I'm not sure if the amounts are correct, so use common sense as to how much is reasonable. Use lots of ginger.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :10 Min

Cook Time : 5 Min

Total Time : 15 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 1 ground chicken


  • 1⁄4 miso


  • 1⁄4 sake


  • 1⁄4 fresh ginger


  • 1 egg


  • flour


  • green onion

Directions

  • Mix the sake and miso to dissolve the miso.
  • Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix well. Be careful not to add too much flour/starch or the meatballs will be tough, but you'll need to add enough to keep them from falling apart in the nabe broth. You may want to cook a test meatball to check the taste/texture.
  • Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling nabe broth. They won't be perfectly round because the mixture should be too soft to form them into perfect balls.
