A wonderfully easy side dish to compliment an Asian meal. (Uses store bought meatballs.) got the idea from another recipe here, and changed it to my tastes. I made lots of sauce and after I removed the meatballs from it I used it in a stir fry, so I only used 1 bag of meatballs. I'm sure homemade meatballs would be better if you have the time. It would be so easy to just heat up the meatballs in a purchased stir fry sauce too. Ingredients:
2 (16 ounce) bags precooked frozen meatballs |
3 cups water |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup honey |
1/8 cup honey-flavored barbecue sauce |
1/8 cup lemon juice |
1/8 cup soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sake |
1 tablespoon mirin |
1/3-1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Pour all ingredients (except the meatballs) into a pot, stir well to combine. Bring to a full boil, making sure that the cornstarch is incorporated before the liquid heats up.
2. Add the meatballs. Bring back to a simmer, reduce heat and cook until warmed through, 10-15 minutes.
3. I let mine cook for an hour and a half over low heat, since you can't really overcook them. You just need to stir the pot occasionally to make sure the sauce doesn't stick.
