I made these for Pick A Chef Spring 2009. We really enjoyed the combination of Asian flavors in these bites and dipping them in the sauce is a must. Unfortunately I couldn't add the cornstarch coating because of my husband's diabetes. Perhaps that would have made a difference in keeping them more juicy. Also, I used ground chicken breast which is dryer than whole ground chicken. I think next time, I'll cover with a lid a few minutes at the end to return the juiciness to them. Thanks for posting, Westtextazzy!
