About This Recipe

"My daughter has a passion for all things Teriyaki and this is a meal (complete with rice and vegies) that I have created as a result. It really can be on the table within 35 minutes from start to finish and tastes great. Here it is in a complete meal form, although of course you could make just the meatballs."

Ingredients

3 shallots
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
500 g finely minced lean beef
1 cup rice
1 tablespoon oil
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
150 g snow peas
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cornflour

Directions

Put a pan of water on to boil.
In a bowl mix shallots with ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sugar.
In another bowl, put minced beef and add half the soy mixture.
Mix well to combine and shape into 20 meatballs.
Add rice to the boiling water and put another pan of water on to boil.
Prepare carrots and top and tail snow peas.
Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry meatballs, turning them until they are browned and cooked through- about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add carrot to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes, then add snow peas and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Mix water and corn flour into the remaining soy mixture and add to the meatballs, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and bubbles.
Boil for a minute or so, then serve meatballs and sauce with drained rice and vegetables.

"The sauce wasn't that sweet, and didn't have much flavor. The meatballs really needed eggs mixed in to bind them together. Mine fell apart really easily. I made different vegetables with mine. If I were to make this again, I would use more sugar and eggs when I made the meatballs"

"Very easy, very good. My husband and kids loved these. I thought they were a bit salty, but next time I'll use reduced sodium soy and a smidge more sugar. We skipped the carrots & peas (had none on hand) and just put some green beans on the side. I'll be making this again, and doubling the sauce. Thanks!"

"These meatballs were just fantastic. Very easy to make, and yes, they only took 35 minutes! I served these with fried brown rice as per DH's request. The sauce was wonderful, next time I would double the sauce to have some extra for the rice, as there was just enough to coat the meatballs just right. Well written and easy to read recipe...thanks for sharing!"
