Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb minced ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce divided
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp fresh grated
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for pan
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix chicken, panko, egg, 1 tbsp soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper until combined.
  2. Form into 1-inch meatballs and set on a plate.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown meatballs, turning so all sides get color, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Whisk remaining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
  5. Pour sauce over meatballs, reduce heat, and simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through.
  6. Serve meatballs over rice, sprinkled with green onion and sesame seeds.
