What you need for meatballs:
- 600g ground steak (or extra lean ground beef)- 1/4 hoisin sauce (we used a homemade mixture of 2 parts soy sauce, 1 part ketchup, 1/2 part table syrup, a pinch of powdered ginger, and a pinch of dried mustard)
- 1/4 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs
- 3 tbsp finely minced green onion (about 2 stalks)
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil- pinch of salt and black pepper
* It calls for 1 tbsp of cilantro but I don't like it
What to do:
- Preheat your oven to 400 F
- Cover a large baking sheet with tinfoil
- Put all your ingredients in a bowl and mix by hand until things look evenly spread out
- Roll the mixture into balls and place on baking sheet
- It should make about 32
- Cook for 20 minutes but check at about 15 to see how they're doing - some ovens are hotter than others.
- Meatballs should be brown all the way through.
So while those cook....
What you need for kebobs:
- 2/3 of a prepared pineapple (the tall cylindrical things)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell peper- 6 medium coffee mushrooms
- 10 metal or wooden skewers
And the sauce:
- Another 1/4 cup of the homemade stuff
What to do:
- Chop veggies
- Skewer everything together
- Grill! 10-12 minutes on med- high
- You'll want to put the sauce on about half way through because sugary sauces will burn in barbeques. If you know you have this problem, you can also put the sauce on once the kebobs are cooked.
- Serve with rice, couscous, or even potato wedges
- Enjoy!
