Appetizers & Starters

Oriental Meatballs – 2006
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Joan Wozny, from our neighbor, Ginny Fowler

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon  cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons  soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon  dry sherry
  • ¾ pound  ground beef
  • ¾ pound  ground pork
  • 2/3 cup  green onions and top -- chopped
  • 1 teaspoon  minced fresh ginger
  • 1 clove  garlic -- pressed

PREPARATION
Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and sherry in large bowl. Add beef, pork, green onions, ginger and garlic; mix until thoroughly combined. Roll into bite sized meatballs and steam them.  

Use as a standalone appetizer, or with an Asian noodle dish.

Sauce: Ginny served these as hors d’oeuvres covered in a sauce she made … she would take some crushed red pepper, mix with some oil and cook down at very low heat. Then she added some of that to a bottle stir fry sauce, with some soy sauce and a little sugar. No measurements, but you can add ingredients to your taste.  Very, very good! 

We miss and love you Ginny!!!
