Equipment

  • Blender
  • skewers
  • Pan

Ingredients
  

For the skewers

  • 500 g chicken fillets
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste preferably from an Asian grocery
  • 1 onion
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or frozen chopped coriander
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 16 small skewers

For the sauce

  • 5 cl sweet soy sauce
  • 5 cm fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into coarse pieces.
  • Peel the onion and cut it into large pieces as well.
  • Put all the skewer ingredients in a blender and mix finely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Peel and grate the ginger. Mix it with the rest of the sauce ingredients.
  • With the chicken mixture, form 16 nice balls by rolling them in your hands (oiled hands help prevent sticking).
  • Thread the meatballs onto the skewers in pairs.
  • Pour a drizzle of olive oil (or other cooking oil) into a hot pan (or on a griddle) and cook the skewers for 4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning regularly.
  • Lower the heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat, basting the skewers with the sauce using a brush and turning frequently.
  • Serve with lacquered carrots (with the same sauce) or basmati rice.
