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
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.
