Mongolian Sauce:

• • ½ cup water
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce

  Instructions

  1. 1. PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  1. MEATBALLS: In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Mixed together until totally combined. Then, add the ground beef and mix until *just combined* you don’t want to overwork the meat or you’ll have tough meatballs. Shape the meatball mixture into meatballs using 1 ½ tablespoon (scant) of mix per meatball. I like to make them small since these are appetizers. Line the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake the meatballs for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. SAUCE: While the meatballs are baking, heat the ingredients for the sauce (except the sesame seeds) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a whisk to dissolve the sugar and allow the sauce to come to a simmer before lowering the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-6 minutes (you want it to just barely bubble on the surface.) Stir frequently so the sauce doesn’t burn.
  3. SERVE: When the meatballs are cooked, add them to the skillet and toss them in the sauce to coat. If your skillet is small, you can add ½ of the meatballs, coat and remove them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the meatballs with the toasted sesame seeds and the slivered green onions and serveHow many pounds have you lost this month?
