A low carb and low fat recipe
Minced chicken is much harder to work with than any other mince meat however the lower caloric content of chicken certainly makes it worth the effort.
- 500 grams chicken mince
- Fresh Ginger 1 inch, grated
- Fresh Garlic, finely sliced
- Sriracha sauce 1 tsp
- Lime or lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Sesame or peanut oil 1tsp
Mix all ingredients except oil and roll into golf size balls.
Heat a large non-stick frypan and cook turning occasionally. I didn’t add oil at the time of ‘frying’ however placed the oil in a plate onto which I removed the meatballs. This gives them a hint of the sesame flavour. You may fry them in the sesame oil instead if you prefer.
Serve the meatballs with an Asian style salad. For the salad, toss together – thinly sliced Chinese cabbage(wombok), rocket leaves, carrots, cucumbers, torn mint leaves, chopped corriander leaves, a tsp of vinegar or any other low cal dressing.
