These Asian-inspired chicken meatballs come together quickly and cook in just minutes. The key is to handle the meat mixture gently for tender results and to get a good sear on the outside for maximum flavor.
These meatballs can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a covered skillet with a splash of water, or microwave on 50% power until heated through. The glaze can also be made separately and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
