Zubereitung von Asian Style Sweet Sour Meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Saute the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the pineapple chunks, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch and water) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat in the sweet and sour sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to cling to the meatballs.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional) and serve hot as a delicious side dish or light meal.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
