Ingredients
Meatballs
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 2 large egg large
- one ounce can water chestnut drained and chestnuts minced finely
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup green onion white part included, minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated fresh
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup white vinegar distilled
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup green pepper sliced
- 1/2 cup red pepper sliced
- 1 ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized saucepan until fully combined. Bring to a low rolling boil, and cook until it thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside. Stir in the peppers and the pineapple.
- Combine the meatball ingredients together until completely combined.
- Roll the meat mixture into large meatballs, whichever size you want. I prefer slightly larger ones, they don’t dry out as quickly.
- Place them into a large roaster.
- Bake for 10 minutes then drain the fat, leaving the meatballs in the roaster.
- Pour the sauce with vegetables over the meatballs, covering them completely.
- Finish cooking for another 20-30 minutes, until the middle of the meatballs are 165 °F minimum when tested with an instant-read thermometer. The pineapple should be heated through and the vegetables tender-crisp in the sauce.
- Remove and serve over your favorite rice.
Notes
- If you like soft peppers you can cook them in the sauce for 2-3 minutes BEFORE placing them in the oven.
