Best Spicy Rice Meatballs Recipes

SPICY RICE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except wheat germ and vegetable oil. Again, make sure you REALLY chopped your onions very finely or they will make your "meat"balls fall apart.
• Cover and chill mixture well, at least 1 hour, in fridge.
• Shape mixture into meatballs and roll each in wheat germ/oats (my last resort, but they turned out fine!) to coat.
• Heat oil in a (preferably) nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Cook the meatballs in the oil for 8-10 minutes, turning carefully, until light golden brown.
• Drain meatballs on paper towels.
• Flash freeze on a pan in the freezer, then put in freezer bags. To reheat, microwave for a few minutes or put on pan and reheat in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
• Or, gently mix meatballs with spaghetti sauce (jarred or homemade) and place in heavy duty ziplock freezer bags and freeze. To serve this way, just thaw a bit in the fridge and then reheat and serve with pasta.
