Glazed Pork and Zucchini Meatballs

Servings: 1 down medium meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1 medium zucchini grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper

sauce

  • 1-1/2 cups chicken stock/broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2-4 tablespoons fresh garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic or garlic paste which is what I used or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix together the ground pork with the eggs, grated zucchini, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  • Portion out and roll into meatballs and cook over medium-high in a skillet until they reach 165° or bake in the oven at 375 degrees until the internal tempo 165° is reached.
  • Prepare sauce by whisking the ingredients into the chicken stock/broth then heat it in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
  • Cover the meatballs in sauce, by rolling them in the saucepan or using a brush to apply sauce. The sauce is thin, it will glaze the meatballs, and you'll have some for dipping into. If you want the sauce thicker add a tablespoon more cornstarch when making it. The sauce thickens as it sets up, if serving immediately I sometimes make it thicker.
