Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Bring 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a boil in a covered medium pot. Add rice to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While the rice cooks, core, then cut the pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the green onions. Trim the sugar snap peas. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Combine the pork, garlic, breadcrumbs, 1/8 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and season with pepper in a large bowl. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs. (NOTE: 16 meatballs for 4 ppl.)
Arrange the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden and cooked through, 8-10 min.**
While the meatballs cook, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the onions, peppers and sugar snap peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the sweet and sour sauce and 1/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan with the veggies. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until the veggies are tender-crisp and sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min. Remove the pan from the heat. Once the meatballs are cooked through, add them to the pan, then toss to combine.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Season with salt, then stir in half the green onions. Divide rice between bowls. Top with the sweet and sour stir-fry. Sprinkle the remaining green onions over top.
