ASIAN-INSPIRED MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI
This one is hot off the press from Eat Boutique blog. The creator, Denise Woodward, said she's been developing this recipe for a year. She finally nailed it by using pork instead of beef, chicken or turkey and even veal. The sesame seeds add crunch to the meatballs and the sauce is definitely umami with it's sweet, sour and spicy flavors. Soba noodles completes the meal.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, over low heat, add the brown sugar, white wine and soy sauce. Stir and cook just until the sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and Sriracha; stir and continue to simmer over very low heat, for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients. Using your hands, mix well. Form the mixture into small meatballs.
- In a shallow frying pan, add about a 1/4 inch of safflower oil; heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Add the meatballs a few at a time. Brown each side. Remove to a paper towel. Repeat the process.
- Once all the meatballs are browned, wipe out the excess oil from the frying pan with a paper towel (do not rinse or wash) and place the meatballs back into the pan. Pour the sauce over the top, and let simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Right before serving, cook the noodles according to the package direction. Drain. Toss with a teaspoon of safflower oil to prevent noodles from sticking.
- Add the meatballs to the noodles. If the sauce is a bit thin, raise the heat and cook down a bit until it is thick. Pour over the noodles, gently toss.

EASY ASIAN-INSPIRED SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Faster than take-out, less expensive, and so easy!!! My husband came home from Costco with this large jar of PIneapple/Habenero Chutney. Very hot and very good, so I have tried it in numerous recipes, including fish. Always great. But, this recipe is for moist tangy meat balls on Ramen noodles. There must be an equivalent name for Asian-American, like Tex-Mex, but I don't know it. Let's just say this is not a real asian recipe, but an American-who-likes-Chinese-takeout and Asian foods in general.

MY VERSION OF RACHAEL RAY'S CHINESE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
After seeing this recipe on an episode of 30 Minute Meals, I decided to tweak it a little to suit what I had on hand and what I knew would work in my house. It's a fairly simple (although, I won't claim that it only takes 30 minutes...nothing ever does, does it?) meal that is pretty healthy with the lean protein, the whole grain, and all the veggies. Although as with any Asian inspired meal, the soy sauce does account for a lot of sodium.
