Awesome Jill! Super interesting story about the nuns learning to cook. If I had the opportunity to sit there and learn from that Chinese Chef I would take it too! Recipe looks delicious and very easy. Sending you Love! Cheers! 💞🥂🔥
Isn't it a great story! And they are so good!!! I'm taking your love and sending more right back your way!!!!!! Cheers!!
Hey Jill that's a great story about the Nuns, their work and unusual journey! Looks like a tasty recipe. The green pepper seems out of place but I guess it works! This sounds good with some rice....and of course a cocktail! Thanks for the story. That cookbook was an awesome gift. Take care and y'all have a great weekend!
Hi Rob!!! How are you!!! Isn't it a great story, I love it as much as I do the meatballs! I promise, the green pepper totally works! The nuns wont steer you wrong! So great to hear from you my friend!!
Hi Jill...In my (not so...) humble opinion pineapple and green pepper are a match made in culinary heaven! So good with nearly all kinds of protein. These look delicious.
Hi Heather! OMG yes! They are definitely a match made in heaven and they are prefect in this dish! I hope you give it a try! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Jill! The history of this dish was absolutely fascinating; and you did an excellent job explaining it all. We love meatballs and sweet and sour is a favorite flavor profile of ours. The meatballs look perfectly seared and the sauce you created looks so luxurious. Beautiful plate of food! We hope you are enjoying getting settled back at the lake house. This was an especially fun episode and great recipe. Well done!
Hi guys! Oh! If you love sweet and sour, you will love these! And thank you, I so love the story of these nuns! Lakehouse is all unpacked and I am back enjoying Idaho! Have a wonderful weekend my friends!!!!
This is absolutely fascinating Jill what a fabulous book and a wonderful story about the Benedictine Sisters of Peking. These Sweet and Sour Meatballs look delicious😋👍!!!!
Thank you Patrick! I love the story too! And these are just delicious! Have a great one my friend!
These look delicious Jill! I really enjoyed hearing about the history of the Benedictine sisters of Peking. Glad they were able to relocate safely to Japan and preserve the recipes they learned. I have had a similar recipe to this but I’m not sure (or can’t remember) what cookbook it was from l. I just remember it had peppers and a delicious sweet and tangy, sweet and sour sauce! Looking forward to trying this
Hi Ryan! I know you love Asian cooking, you will love these! I'll be curious to know how close to your recipe these are! Have a wonderful weekend my friend!!
Hi Jill 👋, Hoping all is well with you and the hubby. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It looks delicious. Love these recipes from the past. Like that you are being them into the future. 😁. Have a great weekend my friend. 👍😎👍❤️😋😋😋😋😋🥰✌️🙃. Thanks for letting me hang out with you ! 🤓
Hi Cheryl! We're doing great! And this is delicious! That is exactly what I am doing! I am saving these recipes from not getting lost in history! And i love that you hang out with me! It's always wonderful to see your name in the comments! Have a great weekend my friend!
I loved the history in this video. It was so interesting! And the sauce is such a beautiful golden color. Talk about the perfect dinner. Thank you for making this, Jill, and thanks to Katie K. for sending in the book! ♥
Hi Joshua! You are most welcome! isn't it great! It quickly became one of my favorite stories. And the dish....omg so good! Always love to hear from you!!!
Happy Mother’s Day my Soul Sista, I love Meatballs and Sweet and Sour Sauce, those look gorgeous, delicious and I love Chinese Food!!!
Thank you my soul sista! Sending love your way!
My Mom used to make something very similar, but with cut up boneless chicken thighs. I learned how to make it over a phone call with her when she lived in CA. When she moved in with us, I would try to surprise her by making it (which I did often), but she would smell it cooking and get surprised a little early lol. It was one of the last meals I cooked for her, so this recipe brings back memories. Thank you ❤
Hi Kathleen! Oh wow, what a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I am honored that it brought back such wonderful memories. And this would be wonderful with chicken. Always love to hear from you! Have a wonderful weekend!
Green Giant back in the early 80’s made a boil-in-bag (remember those!?!) version of this that looked almost identical to this, with the addition of mini carrot sticks.
I loved those things, and this brings back many memories.
I totally remember boil in a bags but don't remember these meatballs. You must know how happy I am that these memories came back! I am so curious how close these will be to your memories. They are just fabulous!
American Chinese cooking is particularly interesting to me. Love this!
Hi EastSider! Great to hear from you! Me too! This book is amazing! But it truly is Chinese. You've been with me for so long! I know you've seen my Chinese American episodes...shrimp toast, bacon chop suey, egg fu young. I love it as much as you do!
Hi JIll!! Wow!! This was such a fascinating story about the sweet Nuns!! So glad they made it safely to Japan. So interesting that they taught Chinese cooking! That cookbook looks SO interesting! These sweet and sour meatballs look SO good!! I just pineapple in savory dishes like this. Thanks for the great recipe my Friend.
Hi Karen! Isn't it a great story? I fell in love with that and the cookbook! And this is so yummy! Have a great one my friend!
Fantastic recipe, I could eat that entire recipe by myself! Meatballs should be their own food group. All of your videos are great, but you've really stepped up your game recently, it's great watching you and your work grow & thrive! Happy Friday!
Yummy! I love Asian cooking, and sweet and sour meatballs are a favorite 🤩
Leguminator! You are so right! They should be their own food group! I must have 5 or 6 meatball episodes by now! LOL! And thank you so much for your kind words! I am so honored you have been with me for so long!!!
@@BuckHelton You will love these Buck!
I like the new music! Excellent history! Thank you!
Lydia! So great to hear from you and thank you! It was time for an update! Happy mother's day to you!!
Hi Jill, That was an interesting story but then they all are! The recipe looks yummy but I wasn’t sure about all the green peppers in it but I’m sure they work or they wouldn’t be in there right? Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend, Dolores 🌷🥰🌷
Hi Dolores!! Oh yes, don't fear the peppers, they are perfect in there! The nuns knew exactly what they were doing! So great to see you and I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!!!
Another fantastic story & recipe!
I always look forward to your shows!
I so appreciate that Bill and look forward to hearing from you every week!

Oh it is John!!!!! Try it!
hi Jill! hope all is well, this looks amazing.
Hi Timothy! All is wonderful! Hope all is well for you too! And this is most definitely amazing!!
Thanks for sharing story of Peking Nuns; I enjoy the history. Just an FYI: Never add cornstarch to a warm, or hot liquid because it forms lumps. Always add to cool, or cold liquid. The saucepan still had lumps in it when meatballs were added. Learned from mom, grandma, (home ec class 1956), and Chinese cooking classes 1970's. Yummy!🥢🥣🍚
Many thanks Jude Girl!! I learn something new everyday!
@@yesterkitchen ... I was in a total state of shock! I didn't really think anyone reads comments. I suppose I should have added to make a "Slurry" 1 part Corn Starch or Potato Starch to 2 parts cold water before you start stirfrying then stir it up before adding to cooking. Turn heat up and stir it in. Anywhere from 1/2 tsp to 2 tsp water to 1/2 to 1 TLBS to 2 TLBS water. This tip is for budding cooks; we all started from the begining.
@@judegirl7607 I read everything! :) I am well versed is slurries. I just didn't use it because I truly follow the original recipe to a "T". But I so appreciate your reply! I know my audience reads many of the comments and I know this will help! :)
Jill I love Chinese food. I love the story you shared. and I will be making this for SURE
Isn't it a great story! And the dish, Jimmy, it is absolutely fabulous!
HIYA JILL hope you are well my friend and happy mother's day if are one love lance
Hi Lance! Thank you! I am a mom to 6 so definitely!

Oh wow! That is awesome! This book is such a treasure!
