Five Spice Meatballs

Serves 6 Prep Time 15 minutes   Cook Time 25 minutes   Rated:

Five Spice Sweet and Sour Meatballs, has been around for quite a while on here, but we have just done a renovation of them and this version is so much yummier and a lot prettier don't you think?

Super simple to make the meatballs way in advance, freeze them if necessary and then trot them out with the sauce and rice on demand. The perfect way to Cook Once and Eat Twice, there are a LOT of meatballs. I really think pineapple would also be an awesome addition to this dish, we could always call them sweet and sour meatballs....now where's my pen?
