I used the regular hamburger steak meat mix in Chinese-flavored dish. This has now become one of my go-to recipes .

Once the sauce (the ★ ingredients) has thickened, add the meatballs immediately to coat them with it. There isn't much water, so you need to keep an eye on the heat. It might be a good idea for those of you who are not used to this recipe to add more water.
You can freeze the meatballs after Step 3. Make a large batch and use them in various recipes. For 2 people. Recipe by kenken mama
