Smile Stadium on the 8th! Chicken meatballs and green onion sesame soup

Under a clear autumn sky, red and yellow fallen leaves are fluttering about.

The autumn foliage season is probably coming to an end soon.

It might be snowing around this time next month.

Let's soak up plenty of sunshine while we can!

Now, speaking of ingredients that taste better in the colder seasons, there's the versatile vegetable, "leeks"!

This time, I'd like to introduce a warming soup made with green onions.

Chicken meatball and green onion sesame soup

Ingredients for 2 people

200g ground chicken, 10 shiso leaves (finely chopped)

1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon potato starch

1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt

<Soup>

1 long leek, 50cc of new sake brewed with new rice

1 tablespoon sesame paste, 1 tablespoon ground sesame seeds

1 tablespoon of noodle soup base, a pinch of salt

1 tablespoon sesame oil

How to make it

1) Put the ingredients for the meatballs into a resealable bag and mix well.

2) Slice the white part of the leek diagonally, and finely chop the green part.

3) Heat sesame oil in a pan and sauté the white parts.

Once browned, add sesame paste, ground sesame seeds, and noodle soup base and mix, then add 500cc of water.

Once it boils, add the mixture from step 1 using a spoon, making round shapes, and simmer. Season with salt to taste.

4) Place in a bowl and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Comment from Professor Nakajima

Chicken meatballs float in a soup where the fragrant aroma of sesame and the sweetness of green onions blend together.

It pairs well with the rich flavor of "newly brewed sake made from new rice."
