Sometimes it is fun to switch things up, to take something down an unexpected path. And I'm not just talking metaphorically here, I'm talking about food! These gingery pork meatballs were a fun asian-twist on a traditionally Italian dish! They had fantastic flavor, and we really enjoyed them! The original recipe suggested serving them with rice noodles sauteed in sesame oil, red bell pepper, snow peas and green onions. Even after doubling the "sauce" we thought the noodles were pretty dull, so I am not including the recipe. But serve these up with some rice instead, and a good helping of veggies and you will have a great treat! :)
