About Tsukune
Tsukune is a delicious Japanese dish consisting of seasoned ground chicken shaped into meatballs or skewers, often glazed with a sweet-savory tare sauce. A staple of yakitori cuisine, it is commonly grilled over charcoal, giving it a smoky flavor. The ingredients typically include ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, ginger, and green onion, enriched with seasonings like sake or mirin. Tsukune offers a lean source of protein from chicken, along with nutrients like iron and vitamins B6 and B12. However, the tare sauce, made with soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, adds significant sodium and sugar content, which may offset its health benefits if consumed excessively. Opting for a lighter sauce or grilling without added glaze can make it a healthier choice. Whether as a main dish or a side, tsukune provides a flavorful, protein-rich option perfect for those who enjoy Japanese cuisine.
