You start with the main ingredients. Choose ground chicken or turkey for a lean option. Breadcrumbs help bind the meatballs together. Green onion adds flavor, while fresh ginger and garlic give them a nice kick. The egg acts as a binder too. Soy sauce and sesame oil add depth to the flavor. Don't forget salt and pepper for taste! Next, think about the accompanying ingredients. Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa serves as a base. I often prefer quinoa for added protein. Steamed broccoli and shredded carrots add color and crunch.
