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. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb pork |
1/4 cup miso (to taste) |
1/4 cup sake |
1/4 cup fresh ginger, grated |
1 egg |
flour or starch, as needed |
green onion, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix the sake and miso to dissolve the miso.
2. 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.
3. 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.
