Instructions
1
Prep
Combine 400g ground chicken, 20g panko, egg white, scallion whites, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined. Roll into 12 even meatballs (33g each). Line a small tray with parchment, brush with olive oil, space meatballs on it.
2
Bake
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake meatballs 15–18 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
3
Simmer
While meatballs bake, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small pan over medium heat. Simmer 2–3 minutes until combined. Whisk in cornstarch slurry, cook 1 minute until glossy and thick.
4
Glaze
Brush teriyaki glaze generously over all hot meatballs until each is coated evenly. Cool fully to room temperature.
5
Finish
Toss cooled meatballs with sesame seeds and scallion greens. Portion into 2 airtight containers, 6 meatballs each. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 60 days.
6
Plate
Reheat 6 meatballs at 180°C (350°F) for 5–6 minutes from fridge or 10–12 minutes from frozen. Serve with sliced cucumber, edamame, or yogurt dip on the side.
