Firecracker Meatballs with Rice and Green Beans

Oh, you guys are going to love this one! Be wary of the spice. Or rather, my meager amount. Add more to your taste! I happened to have sambel oelek instead of sriracha the first several times I made this and much prefer it, but use sriracha if that’s all you have.

  3. To make the green beans, place the beans and soy sauce in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of crispness. Drain any extra water and toss with sesame seeds.
  4. Place the meatballs and sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat and toss to coat.
  5. Serve the meatballs alongside the rice and beans. Drizzle any extra sauce over the plate and garnished with the sliced green onions.

Notes

MAKE AHEAD

The meatballs, sauce, and rice can all be made earlier in the week and stored in the fridge.

Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the meatballs are warmed through. Meanwhile, reheat the rice either by placing it in a medium-sized saucepan, covered, over low heat for ??? minutes or by microwaving it for about 2 minutes.
