For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping the meatballs. If you don't have sake or mirin, you can substitute with dry sherry or rice wine vinegar, respectively, adjusting the sugar content to taste. Serve these Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs over steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an elegant presentation. To make the sauce thicker, remove the meatballs and vegetables after simmering, then simmer the sauce on medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
