- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the Japanese negi (leeks) into small rounds. If using green onions, chop them finely. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.

Add the sliced negi to the mixture and mix well with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
