Teriyaki Meatballs With Red Bell Peppers and Pineapple

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced into long skinny strips
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced into long skinny strips
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced into long skinny strips
  • 1/4 cup of your favorite teriyaki sauce, we like Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunk
  • 2 tablespoons hot water, to cut the saltiness of the sauce to fit your preference
  • 4 -6 servings of hot cooked rice

Method

  1. Begin by preparing your hot cooked rice before starting the other components to ensure everything finishes together.
  2. In a large, high-sided skillet, warm the olive oil. Cook the sliced onions and red bell peppers for about 10 minutes, until they are softened but still retain some bite.
  3. Introduce the package of fully cooked Aidells Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs to the skillet along with 1/4 cup of your chosen teriyaki sauce.
  4. To adjust the saltiness of the sauce to your liking, stir in hot water. A typical ratio is 1/8 cup of water for every 1/4 cup of sauce.
  5. Turn off the heat and add the fresh pineapple chunks, allowing them to warm through without cooking to preserve their zesty flavour.
  6. Spoon the meatball and vegetable mixture over portions of hot rice to serve.
