Ingredients
1 lime
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
vegetable oil
1/2 907-g box frozen cooked meatballs
1 red bell pepper, seeded
1 zucchini
1 celery stalk
Instructions
Squeeze 2 tbsp (30 mL) lime juice into a small bowl. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chili-garlic sauce and cornstarch. Lightly oil a large frying pan. Set over medium heat. When hot, add meatballs. Stir often until browned, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, core and seed pepper. Cut into thick strips. Slice unpeeled zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Coarsely chop celery. Once meatballs are browned, add vegetables and a little more oil, if needed, to pan. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir-fry until zucchini starts to soften, 3 minutes. Stir soy sauce mixture, then pour into pan. Stir constantly until sauce is hot and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon over rice or egg noodles.
