Ingredients
- 2lb ground beef shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 1 green pepper, finely diced shopping list
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained, but juice reserved shopping list
- 3 shallots, finely diced shopping list
- 1 large carrot, grated shopping list
- 1T soy sauce, divided shopping list
- 1 inch fresh ginger shopping list
- 1/2 cup honey shopping list
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce shopping list
- 1T olive oil shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 5t black sesame seeds shopping list

How to make it
- In large bowl, combine beef, 1 shallot, green pepper, carrot, 2t soy sauce, fresh ground pepper, about 1/4inch of ginger, grated , 2t sesame seeds, and the drained tomatoes. Mix until well blended
- Form meat mixture into 1/2-3/4 inch meatballs and place on wire rack(sprayed with cooking spray) over cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, until well browned and done.
- Prepare rice per package instructions while meatballs are cooking and preparing sauce.
- Heat a dry skillet on medium heat and add remaining sesame seeds. Cook, tossing occasionally, for about 5 minutes. You can't tell when these are toasted, if using black, but heating them will still bring out the flavor, so I don't recommend skipping this step. :)
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add 1-2T olive oil to skillet and add shallots. Cook on medium low heat about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, tomato sauce and juice, and remaining soy sauce.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer about another 5 minutes.
- Add honey, stir to combine and continue to simmer, stirring often, until reduced by half and sauce thickens.
- Add sesame seeds, ginger, salt and pepper(and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired :)
- To serve, place meatballs over rice and top with sauce
- To eat, cut the meatballs up and mix 'em all in with the rice! ;)
