Calories 224kcal
Ingredients
- 18-20 Cooked Meatballs fresh/frozen
- 1.5 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic minced
- ½ cup Low-sodium chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- ½ cup Pineapple juice (reserved from a can)
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
Instructions
- If the meatballs are frozen, no need to thaw. Just adjust the cooking time for the meatballs to cook through.
- In a pan, heat oil. Saute minced garlic for 30-40 seconds until the raw smell is no more.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan except cornflour. Whisk everything and bring to a low boil.
- Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Lower the heat and slowly stir in the slurry into the pan.
- Let the sauce simmer for 30 seconds. Add the meatballs(if using fresh cooked meatballs). Toss for another 2-3 minutes for the sauce to thicken and coat meatballs.
- If using frozen meatballs, then after adding to the pan, lower the heat and cover for 10-12 minutes for the meatballs to thaw and cook through. Note- Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the meatballs.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
