ASIAN-INSPIRED PORK MEATBALLS WITH PINEAPPLE IN THE SLOW COOKER
I'm a fan of potstickers and this pork meatball mixture makes me think of the potsticker filling. I used a small slow cooker, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients if yours is larger. Serve over coconut rice (I used "Easy Coconut Jasmine Rice" from Allrecipes).

- Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic in a large bowl for the meatballs. Knead gently with your fingers to combine. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours for flavors to meld.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork. Ground pork shoulder is the best choice for these meatballs, as it has a good amount of fat that will help keep them moist. You can also use ground pork loin, but it may be a little drier.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form the meatballs. This will help keep them uniform in size and shape.
- Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the sauce. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes these meatballs special. Be sure to use a sauce that has a lot of flavor, such as the apricot glaze in this recipe.
- Serve the meatballs over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
These Asian-inspired pork and rice meatballs with apricot glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the apricot glaze is the perfect finishing touch. Serve them over rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that everyone will love.
