How to Make Asian Style Chicken Meatballs For the Meatballs: Rice Wine Vinegar: Acid in the rice wine vinegar will balance out the taste of the sauce.

Add to taste in case you are sensitive to spice.

Sriracha: Sriracha is great for spice.

Sesame Oil: I love the taste of sesame oil in this sauce.

Honey: Honey will balance the umami and spicy flavors in the sauce.

Seasonings: Salt & Pepper, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes & Parsley help to season the meatball throughout.

Egg: Is added as a binder to help the meatball stick together.

You can use either minced fresh garlic or add granulated garlic! The juice from the meat will soak into the panko as it is being cooked and trap the juice inside the meatball.

Panko Breadcrumbs: The breadcrumbs help the meatballs stick together and for added moisture.

Ground Chicken: Ground chicken is low in fat and takes on the asian flavors of this recipe well.

What’s in these Asian Meatballs? For the Meatballs: Garnish with extra sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley. Serve any extra sauce in a ramekin for dipping. These saucy meatballs are sweet and spicy thanks to the honey and Sriracha in the sauce. If you’re not a fan of ground chicken you can always use ground pork, beef or turkey instead. One of my favorite ways to serve these meatballs are as lettuce wraps with some julienne veggies! Serve as an appetizer or as a meal with some sticky white rice or fried rice. The sauce is made up of of soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. These Asian Style Chicken Meatballs are smothered in a sweet and spicy Asian inspired sauce. The spicy soy sauce uses your favourite supermarket chili oil for the heat and is balanced out with black vinegar.Who doesn’t love meatballs? They are easy to make, versatile and can be made in advance and frozen for quick weeknight meals. The edible leaves provide a strong citrus aroma and a bright flavour like no other.Īnd last, I wanted to showcase a sauce using soy sauce as it pairs well with the poached chicken. Kaffir lime leaves can be found in many Asian grocery stores and the leaves can be stored in the freezer. To this day, we serve this sauce alongside the ginger scallion sauce whenever we have poached chicken. Growing up, my family also paired white cut chicken with a pungent and flavourful sauce made of fish sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and kaffir lime leaves. I also change up the oil depending on what I have available. This maximizes the flavours of all the ingredients. My version uses hot canola oil to submerge the ginger and scallions to help flavour the oil, with the addition of freshly minced ginger and scallion when the sauce cools. Some enjoy the taste and consistency of extra virgin olive oil while others like a more neutral and lighter oil such as vegetable oil. The amount of salt is really adjusted to taste, but typically the sauce is on the salty end, so a little goes a long way. Some people use hot oil while others don’t, and even the oil used differs per person. The technique on how to make it can vary per person, based on their preference. The minced ginger is surprisingly not overpowering with the added ingredients but gives the sauce a wow factor to brighten up your senses. The sauce is simple, yet it pairs well with the chicken pieces, giving it a much-needed punch.

The scallion and ginger sauce is made of finely minced ginger and scallions, mixed with oil and salt. The sauces pairs well with other proteins, as well as rice and noodles. The one sauce has a fish sauce base, while the other one has soy sauce. My post will tell you how to make the famous dipping sauce, as well as two other incredible sauces that I grew up eating.

The chicken with the glossy skin is often seen paired with a ginger and scallion dipping sauce. The chicken is typically cooked in a master stock with aromatics which lightly flavours the chicken. The Chinese poached chicken is a staple at Chinese restaurants and made in many households ( recipe for Instant Pot poached chicken). I have 3 sauce recipes including scallion and ginger, fish sauce with kaffir lime leaves, and a spicy soy sauce. The dipping sauces are a must when making Chinese White Chicken.
