Meatballs

Smoked Miso Maple Glaze

Blueberry Shiso Purée

Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Meatball Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Smoked Miso Maple Glaze Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine the Glaze Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the smoked miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.

  2. 5

    Glaze the Meatballs

    Once the meatballs are cooked, brush the smoked miso maple glaze over the meatballs generously.

Asian Pear Salsa Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine the diced Asian pear, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently until well combined. Let it sit for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

Blueberry Shiso Purée Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Purée

    In a blender, combine the blueberries, chopped shiso leaves, honey, and water. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water until desired consistency is reached.
