my family and i loved these. i doubled it for my family of 6 and we had leftovers which is great! i served it over rice. we loved the sweet and sour sauce. the most time-consuming part for making the meatballs, but that's probably because i doubled the ground beef. still, altogether, it was a fairly quick and easy weekend dinner. -
I served this at my husband's surprise birthday party as an appetizer (without rice). The theme was a Hawaiian Luau. I set the wooden picks beside the dish so people could eat as a finger food. I made the meatballs the night before, and made the sauce the day of the party. Kept the meatballs/sauce warm during the party with a Chaffing Dish. Everyone really loved them! Nothing was left! Would definetely make again. -
I had high hopes for this recipe, since everyone has given it high marks, but I was sadly disappointed in my results. The meatballs and sauce just didn't taste right to me, and I'm not a novice to asian cookery. Well, perhaps others might enjoy this recipe, but I don't think I will make it again, thanks. Sorry!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
