One quick and easy dinner that you can make for your family is Sweet and Sour Meatballs. As the name suggests, this is a meatball dish with sweet and sour sauce. There are several ways to make the sweet and sour sauce; one example is the recipe that we have for the Sweet and Sour Tilapia while another is the basic Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe that we used for Sweet and Sour Pork – this recipe is entirely different from the rest.
Kids are so picky with their meals. They like fried dishes and they won’t eat any food that they are not familiar with. Since kids love meatballs, this recipe will surely build your kid’s appetite especially when they tasted the pineapple chunk that goes along with the dish.
As for the meatballs, the recipe asks for ground pork but feel free to use ground beef or chicken depending on your preference or availability of ingredients. You might notice that the meatball for this recipe is composed of basic ingredients. If you want to take the meatballs to the next level, you can always use the meatball recipe in our Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe post.

Egg and breadcrumbs are common mix-ins to add moisture and tenderness. Another binder option that people swear by is a panade, which is fresh or dry breadcrumbs that have been soaked in milk. “The soaked breadcrumbs help keep the proteins in the meat from shrinking,” as food writer Tara Holland explained in the Kitchn.
Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Place sugar, water, vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ketchup in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir continuously until mixture has thickened.
After all of the Italian meatballs I've been making lately, I consider myself a meatball expert. A good rule of thumb is to bake meatballs for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Baking will result in meatballs with a crunchy exterior, though the caramelisation achieved from frying will be superior. Baked meatballs take the least amount of effort, as you'll only need to turn them once or twice throughout the cook and you can make a larger batch at once.
You can use eggs, breadcrumbs, grated or creamy cheeses (think ricotta or feta here), ground nuts, or a mixture of these ingredients to bind the balls and help them stay together while you cook them and as you eat them—no one wants a meatball that breaks apart all over the plate.
The longer the simmer, the more tender and succulent the meatballs become. 3. Concentration of Flavors: Simmering at a low temperature for an extended period also encourages the sauce to reduce and thicken.
When it comes to adding liquid to meatball mixtures, milk is often used for its versatility, depth of flavor, and richness. Without the use of milk, you may be faced with a plate of dry meatballs. Milk adds a certain level of moisture that helps produce perfectly tender meatballs.
While water and broth may keep the meatballs moist throughout the cooking process, milk's extra fat and luscious consistency add an unmatched level of complexity to any classic meatball recipe.
Adjust the flavor balance of your sauce: If too tart or acidic, add 1/4 tsp.sugar and stir well.If too bland or sweet, add 1/4 tsp.red wine vinegar and stir well.
You can heat about a teaspoon of corn starch or the regular flour in some water. Let the heat be on low. Within minutes the starch water solution will thicken. Then, you just pour the thick mixture into your sweet and sour sauce.
Yes, but you may need more flour than what the recipe calls for in cornstarch. The cornstarch is just used to thicken the sauce; flour will also thicken the sauce, just not as well. Can I use apple juice instead of pineapple? Yes.
Ground meat: This meatball recipe uses a blend of ground beef, ground veal, and ground pork. You can switch it up depending on what you have on hand. Seasonings and herbs: These meatballs are flavored with fresh garlic, fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, and ground black pepper.
Sweet and Sour meatballs originated in China. They have become a popular main dish in the Philippines or anywhere around the globe for that matter. They are primarily made from ground pork, which is shaped, into balls and cooked with a sweet and sour sauce.
Replace the Grape Jelly with apricot preserves, orange marmalade, canned cranberry sauce, raspberry preserves, or hot pepper jelly. Replace the Ketchup with Heinz chili sauce or barbecue sauce. If swapping the ketchup for chili sauce, it is not a spicy sauce.
