Tender ground chicken skewers with bits of shiso leaves and scallions, drizzled with sweet soy sauce.

Make them in an oven or on the grill! Tsukune is usually seasoned with salt or sweet soy sauce - yakitori "tare". I made at home the frozen chicken tsukune patties that I normally buy at a store. The tsukune patties will be cold and tough by the time you eat it for lunch, so I added some silken tofu thinking that it might make the patties a little softer.
