     Title: Oriental Meatballs
Categories: Main dish, Appetizers, Meats
     Yield: 6 Servings

 1 1/2 lb Ground beef (see notes)
     2    Eggs
     2    Slices of bread
     1 t  Dry mustard
   1/2 t  Ginger
     2    Cloves of garlic, chopped
          Sauce:
   3/4 c  Sugar
     1 c  Soy sauce
   1/2 c  Vinegar
   1/2 c  White wine or water
     2    Cloves of garlic, chopped

 Place ground meat, eggs, garlic, and spices in a bowl. Wet the slices
 of bread with water and add to bowl. Moosh this together until well
 mixed. Shape into 1" balls and roll in flour. Place about 1/4c
 vegetable oil in a skillet. Heat the oil and add the meatballs a few
 at a time. You just need to brown them, not cook them thoroughly. If
 necessary, add a little more oil as needed (the flour tends to absorb
 it).As they brown, move them to another bowl. When all meatballs are
 browned, remove as much grease as you can from the skillet, trying to
 leave all of the crispy brown pieces in there. Add the sugar,
 vinegar, soy sauce and water (or wine) to the skillet. Heat, stirring
 to loosen the crispy brown pieces stuck to the skillet. When sauce is
 hot, add the meatballs back in. Cook over medium   heat, stirring from
time to time, until sauce starts to thicken and   meatballs seem glazed.
Taste the sauce and see if it tastes right to you. If it's too vinegary, add
a little more sugar. Serve over hot cooked white rice.

 NOTES: This recipe originally called for ground turkey. I stopped
 using that the first time I found something in my mouth that tasted
 suspiciously like a semi-ground beak! Maybe they've improved ground
 turkey since then. You could use the turkey or a mixture of turkey
 and beef. Also, this recipe improves with age. You can make it one
 day and serve it the next or freeze it. If you refrigerate to serve
 later, you can remove the disgusting layer of grease that will be on
 the top.

 This recipe originally came from the Boston Globe but has been carried
 around in my head ever since I lost the recipe.
