3/4 pound ground beef chuck
3 tablespoons minced green onions
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, cut in strips
1 (8 1/4-ounce) can sliced pineapple
1 cup frozen sliced carrot, cooked, drained, liquid reserved
1/4 cup sliced water chestnut
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 servings hot cooked rice

Combine first 5 ingredients with 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix well and shape in balls, using 2 measuring tablespoons for each. (Balls hold shape best when chilled before cooking.) Sauté in oil in skillet until done; remove and keep warm.

Add green pepper to skillet and sauté 2 minutes. Drain pineapple, reserving syrup. Cut pineapple in chunks and add to skillet with carrots and water chestnuts. Sauté 3 minutes, then add meatballs. In small saucepan, mix remaining soy sauce, reserved liquids (add water to make 1 cup), sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened and clear. Pour over contents of skillet and simmer 5 minutes. Serve on rice.


Fun Fact: The American Revolution refers to the period during the last half of the 18th century in which the thirteen colonies that became the United States of America gained independence from the British Empire. The thirteen colonies were British colonies in North America founded between 1607 and 1732. Although Britain held a dozen additional colonies in North America and the West Indies, the colonies referred to as the "thirteen" are those that rebelled against British rule in 1775 and proclaimed their independence as the United States of America on July 4, 1776. (The thirteen colonies are New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.) The majority of the fighting ended with the surrender of Britain’s General Cornwallis in Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781. However, minor battles continued for another two years. The Treaty of Paris was finally signed on September 3, 1783, officially ending the American Revolution.
