Blend in the sake, starch, onions, and ginger. 3. Add the ground chicken, and mix. 4. Put a thin layer of a neutral oil (such as canola) in a large frying pan, and heat over medium heat. 5. Scoop meatballs into the frying pan using a tablespoon, roughly shaping them but not forming them into perfect balls. 6. Rotate until uniformly browned, and cooked through. 7. Transfer to bowl with slotted spoon and continue to fry until all of the meatballs have been cooked. 8. Spoon sauce onto meatballs and rice, if desired. This goes very well with a bowl of steamed mixed vegetables. Dairy-free pesto over pasta This pesto sauce can be enjoyed over a pound of warm pasta, on a slice of pizza, on a sandwich, rolled in a chicken breast, or just about anywhere you can imagine! Ingredients - 2 c. basil leaves, packed - 1/4 c. chopped nuts or seeds (pine nuts or walnuts; to try out nut-free, we used sunflower seeds) - 2 cloves of garlic - 1/2 c. olive oil - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt - 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper - 1/8-1/4 c. nutritional yeast (to taste) Directions 1. Place basil leaves and nuts into food processor bowl, and pulse until coarsely chopped. 2. Add garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 c. of the nutritional yeast and pulse until smooth. 3. Taste, and add additional nutrition- al yeast if desired. In order to have a nut-free option to share, try sunflower seeds. It takes a little longer to pro- cess, but it works! 4. Blend to a nice smooth paste so the seeds can no longer be seen; pausing to push down with a rubber spatula before pulsing further. 5.
