Tsumire - Japanese Nabe Meatballs

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb lamb
• 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)

Recipe

• 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.
