- ★Soy sauce1/2 tbsp

- 2
Finely chop 1/2 onion and add it to a bowl with the chicken and all other tsukune ingredients. Mix well.
- 3
Wet your hands slightly and shape the mixture into balls of your preferred size, forming them like hamburger patties. For this recipe, they were skewered before cooking.
- 4
Add all the sauce ingredients to a frying pan and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced.
- 5
Continue simmering until the sauce is reduced by about half, adjusting the heat to prevent burning.
- 6
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, arrange the tsukune, and cook both sides until golden brown.
- 7
Once cooked, pour the sauce over and coat all sides while cooking to completion.
- 8
Optionally top with green onions or serve with mustard and mayonnaise for extra flavor.
- 9
You can also make tsukune burgers by placing them in buns. Spread mustard and top with generous mayonnaise for even more deliciousness.

The skewers are purely for presentation - inserting them after cooking helps keep them clean from the sauce.

Tips
A rich, sweet teriyaki sauce is included in this recipe. It's especially recommended for children and those who prefer sweet flavors.
