Ingredients
- 500g of minced chicken
- 2 egg yolks
- 2tablespoons of cornflour
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of mirin
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
Directions
-
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. If you don’t have minced chicken, you can put chicken breasts in a food processor or a blender, pulsing them until they are finely chopped. Mince the garlic and ginger by finely chopping them with a knife. The more you chop them, the smoother the texture of the Tsukune will be.
-
In a bowl, add the minced chicken, egg yolks, cornflour and sesame oil. Stir the mixture until fully combined.
-
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the chicken mixture.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, add the soy sauce and mirin to the pan and stir continuously.
-
Add the garlic, ginger and mix until everything is fully combined.
-
Cook for about 10 minutes or until the Tsukune is fully cooked.
-
Voila! You’ve just made homemade Tsukune!
