1966 Recipe - Jean Hansen

"This is an authentic Chinese dish, believe it or not, from a Chinese Shriner friend of my husband, Hans.  He owned a restaurant and served this there." - Jean Hansen

"We usually serve this as a main dish, but it works equally well as an appetizer by making smaller meatballs." - Calla Ferre

"Another frequent favorite while I was growing up.  People try to tell me it isn't a Chinese recipe, but Grandma confirms a Chinese friend served this in his Chinese restaurant." - April Ferre
