HAWIIAN HAM BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together all of the meatball ingredients. (I use my hands, use a spoon if you want...)
• 2. Form mixture into about 1 or 2 inch diameter meatballs. *** The kids love shaping the meatballs and placing them on the baking sheets. *** you will get around 130 - 150 meatballs depending on size and consistency of size.
• 3. Cook Rice according to package and the amount you want. Leave covered until needed. While rice is cooking, start cooking meatballs. Bake at 350 degrees on baking sheets for 20 minutes. OR go to step #4
• 4. Fry meatballs on medium-high heat with about 3 TBS of cooking oil. Rolling them to cook all over. Don't over crowd them in pan. Remove them to a platter or a baking sheet as they are cooked. When all are done, Start the Stir Fry sauce.

• 6. Start with the carrots in oil, stirring about 2 minutes before adding the celery, stirring about 2 minutes before adding the onion 2 minutes, then the bell peppers. Stirring until almost cooked.
• 7. Add remaining sauce ingredients, EXCEPT the cornstarch mixture. Bring to the boil, then add cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until sauce is cooked and thickened. *** if you like a thinner sauce, just add a little water. *** you don't have to add the corn starch, but you still need the water. Adding the cornstarch thickens the sauce and helps it to cling to the meatballs.
• 8. Add pineapple, including the juice!
• 9. Add meatballs into the pan with sauce ingredients. Coat with the sauce.
