👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Heat the stock in a pot with the garlic, gluten-free soy sauce and mirin and bring to a boil.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Turn down the heat and simmer 10 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Mix the ground chicken with the scallions, ginger, cornstarch, gluten-free soy sauce and salt until evenly combined.
  4. 4
    Knead the mixture 2 minutes, until smooth and sticky.
  5. 5
    Chill the mixture 20 minutes.
    Refrigerator
  6. 6
    With wet hands, shape patties the size of walnut, about 12 patties.
    💡Wet hands don't stick to the mixture, and the patties come out smooth and even.
  7. 7
    Drop the meatballs into the stock and cook 10–12 minutes, until they float and feel firm. Keep it at a gentle bubble so the stock doesn't turn cloudy.
    Stove
  8. 8
    Rinse the strips of the leek in cold water and dry them.
    ColanderPaper towels
