INSTRUCTIONS
Make the meatballs: In a bowl combine the beef, grated onion, egg, bread crumbs, salt, ginger, and hot peppers. Mix thoroughly, then form into small balls each about the size of a small walnut. Film the bottom of a large skillet with the oil. Add the meatballs, turn heat to moderate, and brown the meatballs slowly, turning them so that they brown evenly on all sides. As the meatballs brown, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. When all the meatballs have been browned, pour off and discard the fat in the pan leaving just enough to film the bottom. Add the chopped onion, garlic, gingerroot. and hot peppers. Saute, stirring, over moderate heat until the onion begins to turn gold. Add the chopped peppers and saute' a few minutes. Add the meatballs and the drained pineapple chunks to the pan. In a small bowl combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and corn-starch. Mix until thoroughly blended. Turn the heat up to moderately high, and stir the meatballs, pineapple, and peppers until they are very hot. Pour in the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs, pineapple, and peppers are evenly glazed and hot. Serve with plain hot cooked rice.
