1 medium zucchini, grated (excess moisture squeezed out)
½ brown onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup (35g) breadcrumbs
1 egg
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
Sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp garlic
1 tap ginger
2 tbsp water
Methods
Grate the zucchini and use your hands or a clean tea towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is important — it stops the meatballs from falling apart.
Add chicken mince, zucchini, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
Roll into even balls, roughly the size of a golf ball (about 1 heaped tablespoon each). You should get around 20.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches for 10–12 minutes, turning regularly, until golden on all sides and cooked through.
Rest for 2 minutes before serving.
