These Asian-inspired chicken balls take next to no time to throw together. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a hot, savory snack or even the protein component of a lunch or dinner. Eat two or three of these with rice crackers and a low-FODMAP vegetable, such as 1/2 cup (44 g) fennel or 1 cup (35 g) of arugula, for a complete snack. Or serve them to guests as nibbles alongside a glass of wine.
