2. Shape mixture into meatballs and cook in the oven, in a single layer on a cookie sheet with sides, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, depending on the size of your meatballs.
3. While the meatballs are cooking, mix together corn starch and brown sugar in a small bowl.
4. Drain the syrup from the pineapple and add to corn starch and brown sugar, stirring really well.
5. Add vinegar and soy sauce.
6. Mix until smooth.
7. Pour mixture into sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to boil.
8. Reduce heat.
9. While waiting for the meatballs to finish cooking, cook the rice.
10. As soon as the meatballs are cooked, drain them and add them to sauce on stove.
11. Add pineapple.
