KITTENCAL'S PORCUPINE MEATBALLS IN SWEET AND SOUR TOMATO SAUCE
If you don't mind the idea of using canned soup this is a delicious tomato sauce, because of the instant rice in the meatballs it will need about 1-1/2 to 2 hours of cooking time , I sometimes remove about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the simmering sauce cool slightly then mix into the ground beef mixture before shaping into meatballs, you may need to adjust the brown sugar and vinegar amounts during cooking --- for meatballs I use my recipe#69173

JAPANESE MEATBALLS IN SWEET SOY SAUCE (NIKU DANGO)
The full name for this is 'niku-dango no amakara-ni'. This appetiser/side dish is very simple to make. The presentation is lovely since the sauce acts also as a glaze...and its sweet coating makes these meatballs a kid-pleaser too! For fans of Asian street food these meatballs can be presented 'yakitori-style' by putting them on wooden skewers, with 4-5 balls on each skewer.

Steps:
- Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl. Knead the mixture until the ingredients are well combined. The beaten egg should give a stickiness to the rest of the mixture, holding it together.
- Take a small amount of the mixture -slightly less than a tablespoon) in your hand and mould it into a ball. Continue until the meatball mixture is used up.
- Fill a pan about one-third full of cooking oil. Heat oil to 350ºF and deep fry the meatballs until brown, about 5 minute (Turn meatballs halfway to ensure they are browned evenly.).
- Remove meatballs to plate lined with absorbent paper, to drain off excess oil.
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a pan. Mix them together over a low heat, stirring until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the meatballs to the pan and roll them around in the pan until they are all covered with the sauce.
- Pour the meatballs with sauce onto a serving plate and serve!
ULTRA SIMPLE PORCUPINE MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
I looked around and all of the porcupine meatball recipes that have been posted include extra and (I think) unnecessary ingredients like Worcestershire sauce. This is the recipe my family has been using since I was a kid. They're very easy to make, taste great with ground beef or turkey, and freeze well. A couple of notes: if you use onion, chop it so it isn't only about double the size of the rice (or less). If it's too much larger it might not be as easy to form the meatballs and could be weird to bite in to. The rice you use should be uncooked Minute Rice, the kind that cooks in like 5 minutes or so.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine meat, rice, onion, egg and one can of soup.
- Roll into meatballs that are approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter and put in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
- Combine second can of tomato soup with water (only about half as much as you would to make it into tomato soup) and pour half over the meatballs in baking dish.
- Bake 45 minutes. Make sure you're keeping an eye on them. Cut one meatball in half to determine if it is cooked all the way through.
- Heat remaining tomato soup and water mixture and pour over meatballs when serving.

Steps:
- Combine the beef, rice, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and garlic powder in mixing bowl.
- Form into 1 1/2-inch balls and place in a lightly-buttered 2 1/2-quart casserole.
- Combine soup, water, vodka, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and ground caraway in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Pour sauce over meat balls, cover, and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
- Makes 6 servings.
- Note: To make caraway powder, use a mortar and pestle to crush caraway seed into powder. Also, don't use a pearl or other thick rice for this, or it won't cook well inside the meatballs - converted rice (not "instant") is what I use.
