Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

0.25 cup bread crumbs

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp minced garlic

2 large egg whites

1 (15 oz) can crushed pineapple

0.5 cup soy sauce

0.25 cup brown sugar

1 pinch garlic salt

ground black pepper

0.5 cup cold water

2 tbsp cornstarch

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, minced garlic, and egg whites. Form into 1-ounce meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 160°F (71°C).

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix pineapple, 0.5 cup soy sauce, 0.25 cup brown sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce. Simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until desired thickness is reached. Add meatballs; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
