Glazed Chicken Teriyaki MeatballsI get asked for this recipe all the time. These meatballs are so deliciously complex in taste and moist, you would think they were difficult to make. Not at all! There are so few ingredients in this and it only takes one pan to prepare them. This could be a hit at your Super Bowl party! This recipe multiplies perfectly.

  5. Add some oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the meatballs. Space them out a bit so they don't touch. You can cook in batches if your pan isn't big enough.

Edit: There is a teaspoon of corn starch in the chicken/tofu meatball part of the ingredients (to go into step 2).

Editor's Note: I have added the corn starch to the ingredients and step 2.

Just got some tofu on sale. It is extra-firm, but I'm going to try and use it for this recipe. Thanks!
