Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 stalks Japanese negi (leeks) or green onions
- 250 grams Ground chicken or pork
- 50 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
Thinly slice the Japanese negi (leeks) into small rounds. If using green onions, chop them finely. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced negi to the mixture and mix well with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties into the skillet, leaving space between them. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the patties hot with soy sauce, ponzu, or Japanese mayonnaise for dipping. Enjoy!
