These super quick, juicy little Asian-inspired meatballs are great wrapped in lettuce cups or served with steamed rice.

  • 1 lb ground chicken, preferably dark meat
  • 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup minced scallions, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish
  • 3 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Asian chile sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450° and brush a rimmed baking sheet with canola oil. In a large bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients except the chile sauce.
