Sweet & Sour Meatballs

IF USING THE OVEN: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, add ground beef, Panko breadcrumbs, minced onion, egg, coconut milk, ginger, salt and pepper (2 teaspoons salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Mix with your clean hands until just combined. Rub a little oil on your hands and then roll the meat mixture into 1-inch balls. Place meatballs in prepared baking pan or slow cooker.

Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven

To make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, chopped peppers and garlic. Sauté until tender, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the onion powder, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Stir to combine and then add the oranges and juice. Bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, stir the cornstarch and water together and then whisk into the sauce. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes. Serve over meatballs with sesame seeds and green onions to garnish. Serve all over rice if desired.
