Pork Fried Rice Meatballs With Homemade Sweet And Sour Sauce Recipes

PORK FRIED RICE MEATBALLS WITH HOMEMADE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add rice and carrots. Cook until rice is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse; set aside to cool. Drizzle tamari and rice vinegar over cooled rice and stir.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine cooked rice mixture, ground pork, peas, green onion, egg, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Mix by hand until just combined; do not overmix. Shape mixture into 25 to 30 golfball-sized meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the outside and no longer pink inside, about 22 minutes.
• While meatballs are cooking, combine cornstarch and water in a bowl and whisk well.
• Combine pineapple juice, sugar, white vinegar, and rice vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add 1 tablespoon of the mixture to the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Pour cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and whisk until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour sauce into a deep serving dish.
• Arrange baked meatballs on a serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with sauce on the side or drizzled over meatballs.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine the pork, breadcrumbs, seasonings and egg yolk in a large bowl.
• Mix until combined. With damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs (I make mine just smaller than golf balls).
• In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the meatballs in a splash of oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk the cornstarch, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and water together.
• Pour into the same pan you used for the meatballs. Allow to simmer gently until thickened and smooth.
• Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meatballs are golden and sticky.
• Serve the meatballs and sauce over rice or noodles and garnish with spring onion.
