Instructions
Sauce:.
Mix all ingredients (may leave out cornstarch, but sauce may be thin).
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while preparing meat.
Drop in meat and simmer at least 30 minutes more.
If I'm not in a hurry, this sits and cooks on all day on the stove top.
Meatballs:.
Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly - hands work best!
Roll into small balls and drop into sauce, or cook first then add to sauce.
Serve over rice.
NOTE: Sauce is also great for ribs.
