Two-flavor meatballs with a delicious sweet-sour sauce that is to die for. Serve over rice or have as cocktail meatballs, whichever you prefer. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken |
1 lb mild pork sausage |
1 medium onion, minced |
1/2 red bell pepper, minced |
2 teaspoons ground ginger |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 cup light brown sugar |
1 cup plum preserves |
1 cup rice vinegar |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
6 ounces pineapple juice |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Thoroughly mix together meatball ingredients and form into meatballs by the tbsp; brown on all sides and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through, 15-20 minutes; remove from heat.
2. Mix together sauce ingredients except cornstarch in a large pan big enough to hold sauce and meatballs (w/lid), cook over low heat until mixture is hot and simmering and mixed through.
3. Mix cornstarch with 5-6 tbsp water to form a slurry and whisk into sauce and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly; fold meatballs into pan and mix sauce over them.
4. Top with lid and simmer 10-15 minutes over low heat.
5. Serve with hot steamed rice, if desired.
