Ingredients 🛒
1 pound ground beef 🐄
1 onion, diced 🧅
1 egg 🥚
¼ cup dry bread crumbs 🍞
1½ cups water 💧
1 cup packed brown sugar 🍯
¼ cup distilled white vinegar 🍶
3 tablespoons soy sauce 🥢
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 🫓
Directions 🥄
Prepare the Meatballs :
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should hold together easily when shaped.
Shape the Meatballs :
Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1½ inches in size . Keeping them consistent in size ensures they cook evenly.
Cook the Meatballs :
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they’re beautifully browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes . You don’t need to cook them all the way through at this stage—just focus on browning the exterior. Once done, transfer the meatballs to a plate and set aside.
Make the Sweet and Sour Sauce :
In a large saucepan, whisk together the water, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and flour until smooth. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and avoid lumps.
Simmer the Meatballs in Sauce :
Add the browned meatballs to the saucepan with the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 30 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Serve and Enjoy :
Serve the sweet and sour meatballs over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavor and color. Watch your family devour every bite of this cozy, flavorful dish!
Tips for Success 🌟
For a healthier twist, use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. 🦃
Add a splash of pineapple juice or chunks to the sauce for a tropical twist. 🍍
