Lesson: Do NOT used undercooked rice. Oops! It absorbed all the moisture from the meat so the meatballs were D.R.Y. and coulda used a lil salt. The sauce was amazing though..I reduced it to make it thicker and the ginger and nutmeg MAKE it!
We loved this recipe! YUMMY! I used ground chicken and made a couple changes. I did not use the marmalade in the sauce (we like our sauce a little more spicy than sweet). Instead I put in two Tbsp. spicy barbecue sauce and I also added some fresh garlic into the sauce. It turned out great. I didn't have minute rice so I just cooked some regular brown rice and used 2 cups of cooked rice. That's probably less than 2 cups of uncooked minute rice but the meatballs turned out moist and firm--not crumbly at all!
We made these for a football game and love them. The flavors mend well together and we plan to have them again. Followed the recipe as stated. Great great recipe! Five stars!
I really liked this recipe. My family did too even though my mom did not eat the meatballs because she does not like sweet meatballs she thought the rice with the sauce was great along with the pinapple pieces. I also omitted onions simply because we did not have any.
It's good (really good) but hard to get into the right shape since it is a bit loose. I would recommend blending the rice a bit before mixing then refrigerating the solid meatball mixture to make it easier to handle and form into balls. Also needs 1 more egg as prepared since it doesn't have anything to bind (1 extra egg white would be sufficient).
This recipe had good flavor but I thought there was too much rice. I am looking forward to trying this again but reducing the amount of rice added to the meatballs.
It was a nice change from my normal fixxings but I always find poultry meatballs to be a little mushy. I liked the sauce I didn't have any orange marmalade so I just squeezed in some fresh lemon juice. That brightened the sauce right up.
This turned out great! I added a little bit of cholula to the sauce and the meatball mixture for a touch of spice and it is one of my new favorites
very good! I didn't use marmalade bc I didn't have any. I used orange juice instead and it turned out great.
