Cooking Steps

Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 (1/4 tsp) tsp salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Meanwhile, add beef and pork mix, panko, half the sesame oil and half the soy sauce to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.

Arrange meatballs on an unlined baking sheet.
Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**

Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) ginger.
Add apricot spread, vinegar, cornstarch, half the ginger, remaining soy sauce, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper and 1/2 cup (1 cup) cold water to a medium bowl. Season with salt, then whisk to combine.

When meatballs are almost done, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add prepared sauce mixture from (step 4), then broccoli and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp and sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 min.
Remove from heat.

When meatballs are done, add them to the pan with sauce and veggies, then toss to coat.
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in remaining sesame oil. Season with salt.
Divide rice between bowls. Top with meatballs and veggies.
Spoon any remaining sauce over top.
