Chicken and Garlic Chive Meatballs

ingredients
10 oz ground chicken
2 garlic chives, thinly sliced
2 T black bean sauce
1/4 C panko breadcrumbs
1/2″ piece ginger, finely minced
2 t olive oil

directions
Combine chicken, panko, half the garlic chives, half the black bean sauce and ginger into a bowl.  Mix well, then form the mixture into 10 to 12 meatballs, about 1″ in diameter.

In a medium nonstick pan, heat olive oil on medium until hot.  Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned on all sides.  Add the remaining black bean sauce and 1/4 cup of water.  Cook, occasionally spooning glaze over the meatballs for an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
