I actually made this recipe last week for meal prep, but did not end up posting it because I took a trip to the hospital for appendicitis all week. Luckily I did get to eat one of these meals before going to the hospital though, so I can write a little feedback about it. I am not a fan of spicy food, despite my best efforts for trying, and this was a recipe way too spicy for my liking. I think if I were to leave the small dried chilies out (or not gotten dried habanero chiles), I would have liked this meal. I also used ground beef instead of turkey or chicken like the recipe calls for, so that could have changed the taste too. If you are a fan of general tso meals or like spicy, definitely give this one a try. And if you double the meatballs, make sure you double the sauce!

General Tso’s Meatballs 
Ingredients:

For the Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground turkey or chicken (I used ground beef)
  • 2 Tbl minced ginger
  • ¼ cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • light flavored oil for frying (olive, grapeseed, etc)
For the Sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 3 Tbl rice wine vinegar (unseasoned - sugar free)
  • 3 Tbl coconut aminos (I use Bragg Liquid Aminos)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 Tbl honey
  • ½ tsp arrowroot powder
  • ¼ cup scallions, chopped
  • 4 - 5 small dried chilies, seeded and chopped

Directions:
To make the meatballs:

Combine all of the meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 balls and saute/fry in oil over medium heat until cooked through and crispy. Alternatively you could bake them but they won't get the crunchy exterior.
To make the sauce:
Combine the sesame oil, vinegar, coconut aminos, water, honey, and arrowroot powder in a small saucepan and whisk until combined. Add the scallions and chili pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for five minutes until thickened and remove from heat.
To serve:
Add the cooked meatballs to the thickened sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with more chopped scallions and chilis if desired.
