- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the Japanese negi (leeks) into small rounds. If using green onions, chop them finely. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
