These were a huge hit at a cookout I attended recently! You can use two tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger in place of the fresh ginger if you like. —Pat Barnes, Panama City, Florida

Can you freeze Chinese Meatballs?

Freeze cooled meatball mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth if necessary.


Test Kitchen tips
  • Add 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture for a Szechuan profile.
  • These meatballs and their gingery sauce are also delicious served over rice for a main dish.
  • Meatballs made with ground pork are lighter and more delicate than beef meatballs.
