MEATBALL LO MEIN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add your meatball ingredients and using a small melon scoop, make your meatballs and roll again slightly to ensure perfect balls. Place balls on a foil and non-stick spray lined pan to ensure easier clean up.
• Bake at 375F for approximately 15-17 minutes. Take out oven and set aside.
• As meatballs are baking, in a medium saucepan add 4-6 cups water, bring to boil. Start dicing your vegetables. Start with your celery, slice on an angle.
• Now your carrots.
• Finish off with your onion and set aside all veggies.
• In a saute pan, add your oil and sesame oil. Once hot, add your onions, saute for about 1 minute. Add your celery and carrots. Stir and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, till veggies are just starting to get tender.
• Add all sauces and seasonings. Let simmer for a 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, incorporate corn starch and orange juice, stir till smooth, add to sauce. Add your meatballs and simmer sauce till slightly thickened and meatballs have been heated thru.
• As sauce is simmering, open ramen noodles, (discarding packet seasoning mix), and add to boiling water. Let simmer for 4-6 minutes, till tender. Drain well and add evenly to bowls.
• Sauce should be ready at this point. Divide sauce evenly between bowls and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if preferred. Grab your chopsticks and ENJOY!!
