• 1/2 red bell pepper, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 cup plum preserves
• 1 cup rice vinegar

1. Thoroughly mix together meatball ingredients and form into meatballs by the tbsp; brown on all sides and cook over medium-low heat until cooked through, 15-20 minutes; remove from heat.
2. Mix together sauce ingredients except cornstarch in a large pan big enough to hold sauce and meatballs (w/lid), cook over low heat until mixture is hot and simmering and mixed through.
3. Mix cornstarch with 5-6 tbsp water to form a slurry and whisk into sauce and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly; fold meatballs into pan and mix sauce over them.
