Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs


Tried another keeper recipe from one of my favourite recipe site for Japanese food! These chicken meatballs with homemade teriyaki sauce are such delight! Minced chicken breast meat mix with tofu, capsicum, egg and ginger made into meatballs, pan fried and glazed with teriyaki sauce! The meatballs are soft, tender and flavourful!  



Recipe adapted from "Just One Cookbook"!

Bought this Paul Frank 3-tiers picnic lunch box from Qoo10 last year! So cute right? Love this box so much! Compact, cute and microwavable. I manage to pack in food for 5 persons! My delicious lunchbox made up of chicken meatballs, tamago and some salads with Japanese multi-grains rice! Recipe for Tamago (egg rolls), please refers to here - Eugenie's Kitchen!
