Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef and pork mix, half the panko (use all for 4 servings), half the sesame oil and half the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange meatballs.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min or until browned and cooked through.**

- In a medium bowl, combine plum sauce, ginger-garlic puree, vinegar, remaining soy sauce and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper.
- When meatballs are almost done, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then broccoli, peppers and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) water. Cook covered for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp and water has evaporated.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
