  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  25 min

Ingredients

Miso Ranch

  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Chicken Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts, finely chopped, plus more for serving
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tablespoons white miso
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

For serving

  • ½ pound green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • ½ green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Steamed rice, for serving

Method

  1. Make the miso ranch sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, onion powder, garlic powder, miso, and salt until smooth.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the top position.
  3. Make the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, cilantro, green onions, panko, egg, white miso, garlic, and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Mix well, then with wet hands, form golf ball-sized meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each) and set them on a plate. You should have about 20 meatballs.
  4. On one side of a rimmed sheet pan, toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon of the oil and ¼ teaspoon of the remaining salt. On the opposite side of the sheet pan, toss the cabbage with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  5. Nestle in the meatballs and brush with olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the green beans and cabbage are tender and the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  6. Divide the rice among 4 bowls and top with meatballs and vegetables. Drizzle with the miso ranch sauce and sprinkle with the cilantro and green onions.
