The second dish which Minoo made was Hawaiian Meatball. The sweet and sour meatballs are very appetizing and kids will love this dish. Try and make it for your family.
Minoo served the Hawaiian Meatballs with steamed rice. A little more sauce will be perfect to go with the rice.
The Hawaiian Meatball is good for potluck too.

Instructions
 Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, salt, ginger and milk in a large bowl. |
 Mix them really well with your hand. |
 Shape them into meatballs. |
 Repeat until all the meatballs are formed. |
 Combine the brown sugar, corn starch, vinegar, soy sauce and pineapple juice and mix until smooth. |
 Shallow fry the meatballs in a frying pan until golden brown. |
 Remove the meatballs and drain on paper towel. |
 In another large skillet, sauce the mushrooms and onions with a little oil. |
 Add peppers and orange zest. Return the meatballs into the skillet. |
 Pour the sauce into the skillet and simmer over medium heat, stirring until it comes to a boil. |
 Add in the pineapples chunks and just heat through.
Minoo, thanks for sharing and leading the Richmond Community Kitchens. |
That looks great ! Do you think they can be baked too (instead of pan fried) ?
Hi LotusRapper, you can surely bake the meat balls instead of pan frying them. Bake them at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes or until they’re brown.
New look for the new year!? Haven’t had meatball for ages and would need to try it one day…
yum…I am making some bison meatballs later. Also, Meyer Lemon Mania and PEEP contest going on at my blog
