WAIKIKI MEATBALLS & FRIED RICE

(Sharon's recipe) 

MEATBALLS:

1 lb ground beef

1 cup cracker crumbs (saltines, that is)

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ginger

1 chopped onion

Mix all ingredients together, form into balls and cook. I fry them, Howard cooks them in the oven - whatever pleases you.

SAUCE:

2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup vinegar

1 tsp soy sauce

1 can pineapple tidbits and juice 

Mix cornstarch with brown sugar and add to vinegar, soy sauce and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, then add meatballs and pineapple. Heat and serve with Fried Rice.

FRIED RICE:

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 eggs

2 cups cooked rice

soy sauce

Saute veggies, add eggs and scramble. Add rice, and soy sauce to taste. (I've also added mushrooms, or frozen veggies, or whatever else was lying around in fridge or cupboard and seemed appropriate.)
