Description
A low carb version of my favorite Chicken Tsukune (meatballs) with Orange Chili Sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Meatballs
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 2 Tbsp scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 Tbsp gluten free soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- oil for frying
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup sugar free orange marmalade
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp (or more) red chilis, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
For the meatballs:
- Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be wet, but do your best to form it into 16 balls. Heat about 1 Tbsp your choice of oil (I used avocado) in a nonstick pan and cook the meatballs on medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Toss the meatballs in the sauce until well coated and serve warm.
For the sauce:
- Combine the marmalade, fish sauce, chilis, and water in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
