Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Remove pits from umeboshi and chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, umeboshi, miso, soy sauce, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until combined.
Step 3
Form the mixture into small meatballs, ensuring they are compact to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grilling pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the meatballs on skewers, if desired, and grill them for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with additional soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
