WAIKIKI SWEET & SOUR MEATBALLS



Waikiki Sweet & Sour Meatballs image

I have taken these to potlucks alot, and have heard "These are the best sweet and sour meatballs I have ever had" many many times. This recipe makes a 6 qt crock pot full of meatballs, which is alot for smaller families so this recipe can be cut in half if you like..but we love them as leftovers in our house. This is a family favorite. I use this same sauce when I make sweet & sour chicken, pork, etc. Another version I make is porcupine meatballs by adding cooked rice to the meatball mixture...and serving over steamed white or brown rice. Enjoy!

3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup(s) soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 teaspoon(s) white pepper
1 medium onion, grated or finely chopped
6 large cloved garlic, finely minced
1 - 2 inch - knob of fresh ginger, grated
SWEET & SOUR SAUCE
2 - 21 oz can(s) pineapple chunks or tidbits, drain & add juice to the sauce. add pineapple in last with veggies
2 can(s) sliced water chestnuts
2 cup(s) carrots, sliced diagonally
4 fresh - bell peppers, 2 red & 2 green, seeded & cut into 3/4 " pieces
1 very large or 2 medium onions, peeled & cut in 3/4 " pieces
2/3 cup(s) cider vinegar
1/2 cup(s) soy sauce
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
2 tablespoon(s) yellow mustard
1/3 cup(s) cornstarch dissolved in cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with foil. Mix all meatball ingredients together and form into 1 1/4 inch balls. Bake on cookie sheet for 30-35 minutes or until done and browned.
  • While meatballs are baking, prepare the vegetables and mix all the sauce ingredients together. In a large dutch oven, add all sauce ingredients except vegetables & cornstarch. Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
  • Add meatballs, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed. Add carrots, onion, peppers, water chestnuts and pineapple tidbits. simmer for 10-15 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender.
  • Stir in cornstarch and cook for a few minutes until sauce is thickened. If too thick add a little water. If too thin add a little more dissolved cornstarch. Cook until thick enough. Serve over steamed rice. Enjoy!
  • This recipe makes a large dutch oven full of meatballs. It can be cut in half or thirds for smaller families. You can also cook this in a slow cooker but it is harder to get the veggies to not get overdone. I usually cook this on the stove top and then put in the slow cooker on warn if serving it on a buffet or at a pot luck.

WAIKIKI-STYLE MEATBALLS



Waikiki-Style Meatballs image

These sweet and sour meatballs are always a hit at parties. My mom sometimes takes shortcuts and uses pre-made meatballs from a bag, which, after spending a few hours in the slow cooker, taste fine. I like these best when they are made completely from scratch! Ground turkey works too, but doesn't hold its shape as well. To turn into a meal, heat rice to serve with the dish. The serving size refers to this dish as a main meal, but when served as an hors d'oeuvre, easily can feed 10 to 13 people. Sometimes I do not add the cornstarch into the sauce, and just allow it to boil for a bit longer, but the cornstarch really does yield the best result.
