Sweet and Sour Pork Meat Balls
I love to make my own meat balls. Is it just not for soup, sometimes I make it to cook dinner like in this case sweet and sour meat balls. Baked meat balls are good as afternoon snack. But for dinner, I wanted to add some vegetables to go with it to make it more balance and colorful.
Making Pork Meat Balls:
1 lb. ground/minced pork
Season with salt, white pepper, sesame oil and Worcestershire sauce.
Method:
Mixed the above together and stir with a spoon until the mixture turned gluey and sticked together. Either use your hands or a melon scoop to create pork balls. Place on alum. foil lined baking sheet and bake in preheated 350'F oven for 15 minutes or until cooked. Set aside to cool.
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (or any type of vinegar)
2 Tbsp. tomato ketcup
1/4 tsp. salt
*Mix the above in a bowl, stir well and set aside*
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 red onion, cut
1/2 carrot, sliced
1/2 zucchini, cut
Method:
1. Heat wok with oil. When heated, add in garlic and zucchini, fry until zucchini is almost half cooked, add in carrot and onion. Fry for a while. Add in pork balls. Stir-fry until pork balls are heated.
2. Add in the sauce mixture. Stir to coat well with the pork balls. Stir for a second and dish out to serve.

Hi Ching
I love meat balls and make my own too. Ironically, I made meat balls in plum sauce last Friday. What a coincidence. I have to try your recipe soon.

I like anything sweet and sour but I never try it with meatballs. This dish is really healthy as you bake the meatballs rather than frying it :)
Wow they look so delicious

Thanks Happy Cook.
do u know in my country meatballs soup selling in every side of the street, they called it "bakso" (made from beef)
To bad iam lazy to make my own bakso hehhehe, yours look yum!
oo.that's creative. I wouldnt hv thought of combining sweet and sour with meat balls. Certainly a healthier version than the deep fried one.
