I’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately for a few reasons. One, it can be much cheaper than eating out, and two, I just really like the idea of cozying up in the apartment when I get home from work rather than heading back out again.
One of the ways I’ve been saving money while grocery shopping is by sticking to recipes that have similar ingredients. Needless to say, we had asian food a few times last week but neither one of us is complaining!
This was by far my favorite dinner from last week and probably my overall favorite recipe I’ve ever tried.
Ingredients:
Meatball
1 lb. ground pork
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic; minced
2 inches fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
2 whole green onions
fresh black pepper
1 lb. ground pork
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic; minced
2 inches fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
2 whole green onions
fresh black pepper
Teriyaki Glaze
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
2 inches fresh ginger
2 tbsp. corn starch
1 tbsp. sesame seeds (optional)
Total Damage: less than $8
Recipe found here. (By the way, I love her idea of serving them as hors d’oeuvres with a pineapple wedge on a toothpick).
I’ll admit I was quite intimidated looking at the recipe, but I was surprised at how easy it was. The teriyaki sauce is to die for…honestly you will never buy teriyaki in a bottle again. Next time we are going to try it with beef strips.
Have you tried any easy/delicious recipes lately?
