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
1/2 kg frozen cooked meatballs
1 red bell pepper
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. Set aside. Lightly oil a large frying pan. Set over medium heat. When hot, add meatballs. Stir often until browned, about 6 min.
Meanwhile, cut pepper into thick strips. Slice zucchini into thin rounds. 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 min. Stir soy sauce mixture, then pour into pan. Stir constantly until sauce is bubbly, 1 to 2 min. Spoon over rice.
