Oriental Style Sweet and Sour Meatballs

How to make Oriental Style Sweet and Sour Meatballs Recipe - Sweet and sour sauce means Oriental- or Polynesian-style to us. For a main dish, serve the meatballs over hot fluffy rice and offer extra soy sauce as a condiment. These meatballs make an excellent party appetizer, too. Keep hot in a chafing dish and have frilled picks handy.
