Brochettes
- 500 g chicken fillets
- 2 tablespoons miso paste preferably white
- 1 onion
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 16 small skewers
Sauce
- 5 cl sweet soy sauce
- 5 cm fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
Preparation
Cut the chicken into coarse pieces.
Peel and chop the onion into large chunks.
Put all the skewer ingredients into the food processor and blend finely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Peel and grate the ginger. Mix it with the remaining sauce ingredients.
With the chicken mixture, form 16 meatballs by rolling them in your hands (oiled hands make it less sticky).
Skewer 2 meatballs onto each skewer.
Pour a drizzle of oil into a hot pan (or on the grill) and cook the skewers for 4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning regularly.
Lower the heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat, basting the skewers with the sauce and turning frequently.
Serve with lacquered carrots (using the same sauce) or basmati rice.
