Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. finely grated ginger
  • 4 scallions, minced, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ bunch Chinese broccoli, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the garlic, chicken, soy sauce, ginger and scallions.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Take a bit of the chicken mixture, about 2 tablespoons, and form it into a ball and then add it to the pan. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  3. Cook meatballs until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate.
  4. Add broccoli and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
  5. Return the meatballs to the pan and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until broccoli is tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve topped with more chopped scallions.
