CHICKEN TERIYAKI MEATBALLS

Steps:

• To make the meatballs-combine the chicken, panko, egg, scallion, cornstarch, shredded ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Bring 2 quarts water and the sliced ginger to a boil in a pot over high heat.
• Decrease the heat to med-low to keep at a simmer.
• Using your wet hands rinsed under cold water, shape the chicken mixture into 20 equal meatballs.
• Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Carefully add the balls to the pot.
• Simmer until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
• While the balls are cooking, make the teriyaki sauce-bring the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and rice vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
• Boil until thickened and reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes.
• Pour into a small bowl.
• Using a wire spider or sieve, remove the meatballs from the cooking liquid.
• Drain briefly on paper towels.
• Spoon the rice into serving bowls.
• Top with the meatballs and drizzle with the sauce.
• Sprinkle with minced scallion and serve hot.
