This is my award winning recipe from SPAM Recipe Contest 2010.Tsukune are Japanese meatballs. We use chicken or pork and can be fried, simmered, or grilled. Cooked with salty sweet sauce and yolk for dipping is a popular Izakaya style. I arranged it with SPAM and a hint of ginger!
It's a perfect recipe for bento since it goes great with white rice. At the same time, it's a tasty appetizer for your sake!
