Steamed Pork Meatballs Tsukune (with Yakitori sauce)
Tsukune is one of the popular dishes at Yakitori restaurant. Usually ground chicken is used to make these meatballs, but I only had a package of ground pork this time. It doesn't have to be ground chicken, you can use ground pork and still taste amazing with Sweet Soy Sauce.
