Sweet and Sour Asian Meatballs with Vegetables image

Meatballs are a perfect make-ahead meal. They are slightly time-consuming but well worth the flavor!

Provided by Katie

Categories     Main Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 31

1.25 lbs lean ground beef, preferably organic
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 - 3 drops 100% pure ginger oil
3/4 - 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice Powder
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium carrot, very finely chopped
2 ounces button or shiitake mushrooms, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3 green onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 - 2 drops 100% pure ginger oil (or 1 - 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger)
2 - 3 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust for your sweetness preference)
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 3/4 inch squares
1 - 8 ounce can sliced water chestnuts
4 - 6 ounces snow peas or sugar snap peas
brown jasmine rice, for serving
sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, egg, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger oil, salt, pepper, 5 spice powder, and garlic. Whisk to combine. Add mixture to the ground beef. Stir to combine.
  • Add the carrot, mushroom, cilantro, parsley, green onion, and panko breadcrumbs to the meat mixture. Mix until combined. I find that hands work best for this. Form into golf ball sized portions and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. I like to use a Medium Cookie Scoop to ensure the balls are all evenly sized.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the insides are no longer pink and a thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted in the center of a meatball. Serve with sauce, vegetables, and brown jasmine rice.
  • Combine the pineapple juice, ketchup, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a medium to large skillet. Cook until boiling, then reduce to a simmer. Add the meatballs, snow peas, bell pepper, and water chestnuts. Cook until the sauce coats the meatballs and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve with brown jasmine rice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS (ORIENTAL SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS)



Sweet and Sour Meatballs (Oriental Sweet and Sour Meatballs) image

This is one of my recipes I like to use for special occasions such as at my Christmas 'open house' and New Years Day buffet. It is a great addition to a buffet and is definitely a crowd pleaser at potlucks. I often prepare double batches of the meatballs, bake them in the oven, freeze on a cookie sheet and when frozen slip them into a plastic bag. This allows me to take out as many as I need for the meal I am preparing. Found this recipe hand written on a sheet of paper tucked in a cookbook picked up at a yard sale.

Categories     Meat

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb ground beef (I use all ground beef)
1/2 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried ginger
3 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tapioca starch or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 small onion, chopped fine (best minced or grated)
1/4 cup water chestnut, chopped fine (optional)
1/3 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup white sugar (You may wish to use less)
2 3/4 ounces tomato paste
1 tablespoon tapioca starch or 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water (I use the drained juice from one 19 ounce can of pineapple chunks plus water to equal one cup)
1 cup pineapple chunk, drained (I use one 19 ounce can of pineapple chunks)
1 green pepper, cut into small squares
1 red pepper, cut into small squares (optional)
1 carrot, cut into thin slices (I use more ...about 4)

Steps:

  • In large mixing bowl combine and mix: ground meat, sugar, black pepper, dry ginger, soy sauce, the tapioca or cornstarch, minced onion and(the water chestnuts if using).
  • Knead above for at least two minutes to insure proper marination, form into even sized balls.
  • Fry in oil and drain (I never fry my meatballs, I put them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about twenty minutes or until done.).
  • Meanwhile make the Sweet and Sour Sauce: in sauce pot on medium heat whisk together vinegar, sugar, tomato paste, the tapioca starch or cornstarch, the cup of water (or water/pineapple juice mix) Bring to boil stirring while cooking. (I find using a whisk to stir works very well).
  • When mixture reaches boiling point add the meatballs and heat through.
  • Add the carrots, peppers and pineapple chunks and cook until vegetables are 'just done'. Do not overcook.
  • NOTE: This can be made ahead and refrigerated. It can then be quickly reheated in the microwave and kept hot in a Crockpot. This freezes well.
  • I also find cooking the carrots separately and then adding, assures they don't get overcooked.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 1/4 cups pineapple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
25 frozen meatballs, recipe follows
1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce, more to taste
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup drained canned or fresh pineapple chunks
4 tablespoons sliced green onions
4 1/2 cups cooked long-grain or basmati rice, for serving
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 heaping tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
Olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large skillet (with a lid), combine the brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and 2 cups of the pineapple juice. Stir the mixture around and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. To thicken the sauce, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth. Add it to the sauce, whisking to combine.
  • Add the frozen meatballs, sriracha and bell pepper and toss to combine. Cover the skillet and cook until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the pineapple, then sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of the green onions. Serve the meatballs and sauce over rice and sprinkle on the rest of the green onions at the end.
  • Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, cream, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large bowl. Knead it all together with your hands until well combined.
  • Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the meat mixture and roll into neat balls. Put them on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheets as you go, then put the sheets in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm them up before frying.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add some meatballs to the skillet and cook on all sides until they have great color on the surface and are fully cooked inside, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the meatballs on paper towels when they're done, then line them up on clean parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Cook the remaining meatballs.
  • Put the baking sheets in the freezer, uncovered, until the meatballs are frozen and firm on the surface, 30 to 45 minutes. Then just pop the meatballs into 5 to 7 freezer bags (roughly 25 per bag) and freeze them immediately. They'll be there when you need them.
