The Ultimate Comfort Food: Tsukune Hot Pot 鶏つくね鍋

Tsukune Hot Pot, or Tori Dango Nabe, is a Japanese hot pot recipe where ginger-flavored chicken meatballs are simmered in a dashi-based broth along with a healthy mix of tofu, vegetables, and mushrooms. Cooked at the table in a donabe clay pot, it’s a warm and comforting family-style dinner for fall and winter nights. {Vegetarian-adaptable}

My meatballs always disintegrate in the broth. Any idea what the problem is?
