Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Mix all meatball ingredients in a bowl. Form into bite-sized balls and cook in a skillet until browned on all sides.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
  3. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and toss until fully coated and glossy.
  4. Start with a bed of fluffy rice, then layer on those saucy meatballs, juicy pineapple chunks, and all that golden glaze.
  5. 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.
