JAPANESE MEATBALLS IN SWEET SOY SAUCE (NIKU DANGO)
The full name for this is 'niku-dango no amakara-ni'. This appetiser/side dish is very simple to make. The presentation is lovely since the sauce acts also as a glaze...and its sweet coating makes these meatballs a kid-pleaser too! For fans of Asian street food these meatballs can be presented 'yakitori-style' by putting them on wooden skewers, with 4-5 balls on each skewer.

Steps:
- Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl. Knead the mixture until the ingredients are well combined. The beaten egg should give a stickiness to the rest of the mixture, holding it together.
- Take a small amount of the mixture -slightly less than a tablespoon) in your hand and mould it into a ball. Continue until the meatball mixture is used up.
- Fill a pan about one-third full of cooking oil. Heat oil to 350ºF and deep fry the meatballs until brown, about 5 minute (Turn meatballs halfway to ensure they are browned evenly.).
- Remove meatballs to plate lined with absorbent paper, to drain off excess oil.
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a pan. Mix them together over a low heat, stirring until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the meatballs to the pan and roll them around in the pan until they are all covered with the sauce.
- Pour the meatballs with sauce onto a serving plate and serve!
TSUMIRE - JAPANESE NABE MEATBALLS
I put down measurements for all the ingredients, but in reality I don't measure. I just guesstimate based on whatever amounts of ingredients I have. I'm not sure if the amounts are correct, so use common sense as to how much is reasonable. Use lots of ginger.

Steps:
- Mix the sake and miso to dissolve the miso.
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix well. Be careful not to add too much flour/starch or the meatballs will be tough, but you'll need to add enough to keep them from falling apart in the nabe broth. You may want to cook a test meatball to check the taste/texture.
- Drop by spoonfuls into the boiling nabe broth. They won't be perfectly round because the mixture should be too soft to form them into perfect balls.
