Sweet and Sour Meatballs

This is a simple meatballs dish with sweet and sour sauce. Actually this is an oriental inspired dish which is similar to sweet and sour pork on this time meatballs are used instead of slices of fried pork meat. This is a perfect dish to cook for your family specially at dinner time because ground pork is easy to digest and you are a bit more relaxed eating this dish because it is mixed with pineapple tidbits and veggies. A heavy meal with meat dishes might be harder to digest before going to bed. Also, this is also great in serving picky eaters like kids that don’t like to eat healthy foods.

Kids love fried foods like meatballs and colorful dishes so I think they will not be disappointed when they see this at meal time. And with regard to the extender used in making the meatballs, basically, flour or breadcrumbs are usually the common extenders but other use veggies like carrots or grated turnips. You can also experiment with these if you like.
