Today, I am going to share a delicious sweet and sour meatballs recipe with you.
Sweet and sour sauce is incredibly versatile. While great for dipping your spring rolls in, it’s also a fantastic seasoning sauce for a variety popular dishes such as these sweet and sour meatballs.
This time, I made beef meatballs. Chicken, pork or lamp are great options as well.
To hold the meat balls together, I used starch and water. Egg and breadcrumbs is another popular choice. For better flavor and texture, I added fresh minced onion, garlic and ginger to the meat mixture.
By using just five everyday ingredients, everyone can make sweet and sour stir fry sauce at home, it’s super easy. The five ingredients are ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, water and starch. In the recipe section, I listed the amounts.
If you are making the sweet and sour sauce for dipping, I recommend adding pineapple juice and brown sugar for a stronger flavor and more depth.
I sprinkled a touch of roasted sesame seeds on top these sweet and sour meatballs and enjoyed them as a snack this afternoon. They could be a great appetizer or side dish for your meal as well.
