- 1 lb (450g) ground beef or pork
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Mix all meatball ingredients in a bowl. Form into bite-sized balls and cook in a skillet until browned on all sides.
- In a saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and toss until fully coated and glossy.
- Start with a bed of fluffy rice, then layer on those saucy meatballs, juicy pineapple chunks, and all that golden glaze.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions for a flavorful, picture-perfect finish. Serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust sriracha to your heat preference.
- Can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
- Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant flavor.
