Sweet & Spicy Asian Meatball Screenshot from America's Heartland Season 8 Episode 05
Ingredients
 1 lb ground beef
 ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (Asian style breadcrumbs)
 1 egg
 1 tbsp Sriracha (Asian Hot Sauce)
 2 tsp soy sauce
 2 green onions, minced
 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
 1 can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
 ¼ cup soy sauce
 Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional
 2 tsp Sriracha (Asian Hot Sauce)
Directions
1

Pre-heat oven to 400-degrees.

2

In medium-sized mixing bowl, combine first eight ingredients. To avoid making tough meatballs, do not over-mix. Stop when all ingredients are just combined.

3

Using ½-ounce portions of mixture, roll meatballs and place in a mini muffin tin (only one per cup.) For an extra crunchy meatball, roll in panko breadcrumbs before placing in muffin tin.

4

Bake for 15—20 minutes, turning meatballs halfway through. After turning, place one pineapple chunk on top of each meatball. Return to oven and bake until meatballs are cooked through.

5

While the meatballs bake, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk ½ cup pineapple juice, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 2 tbsp sriracha. Bring to a bowl, then reduce to simmer and cook until sauce thickens to a syrup-like consistency.

6

Remove meatballs from oven and allow to rest for five minutes. Then, skewer meatballs with their accompanying pineapple chunks and place on serving dish. Serve with dipping sauce.
