Sweet and Sour Beef Balls

By LadyRev-2

From a Chinese Cooking School in Tokyo. Recipe of the Benedictine Sisters of Peking.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp onion, chopped
• pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Form into 18 or more balls. Brown in small amount of oil. Drain.

To 1 Tbsp oil, add:

1 cup pineapple juice and cook over low heat a few minute.

Add mixture of 3 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp vinegar, 6 Tbsp water and ½ cup sugar. Cook until juice thickens, stirting constantly. May be made in advance to this point.

Add meat balls, 4 slices of pineapple, cut in pieces and three large green peppers, cut into 12-16 strips lengthwise. Heat thoroughly, until peppers are crunchy cooked. Serve hot. (I like to serve this on a small amount of rice. Makes a complete meal)
