Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Make meatballs:
    Mix together ground chicken, chili-garlic, soy sauce, minced ginger, brown sugar, cornstarch and scallions. Using a cookie scoop (or your hands) scoop and shape into 16 meatballs. Each meatball will weigh approximately 33 grams.
    If meatball mixture is sticky, wetting your hands with cold water will help to keep your hands clean.
  • Bake meatballs in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Make Chicken Manchurian sauce:
    Mix together tomato puree, chili-garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Make Chicken Manchurian stir-fry:
    Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add in your ginger, garlic, onion, and bell pepper and cook until fragrant and onion is translucent.
  • Add in the sauce, and simmer for one minute.
  • Stir together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
  • Add slurry and cooked meatballs to the skillet. Stir to mix well. Simmer until sauce is thickened. Top with scallions and serve with your favorite side dish!
