Caribbean Meatballs

This is a recipe i have had for years but never got around to making. I'm putting it here for safe keeping. Update: may '06-finally made these using ground chicken. The sauce truly is fabulous!!

Steps

In large bowl , combine pork , water chestnuts , green onions , ginger , 1 tsp soy sauce and egg.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Roll meatballs in cornstarch.
Pour oil for frying into a wok or deep pan about 11 / 2 inches deep.
Heat oil to 375f or until a chunk of bread sizzles.
Add meatballs to oil just a few at a time so not to lower the oil temperature.
Cook until browned all over , drain on paper towels.
When done with the meatballs , pour out oil.
Wipe out wok or skillet with paper towels.
Return wok to high heat and pour in 1 tbls oil.
Add green pepper and stir-fry 1 minute.
Reduce heat to low and add meatballs and water.
Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until meatballs are done in center.
In a small bowl , combine orange juice , chili sauce , 1 tbls soy sauce , and honey.
Pour over meatballs and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
This dish goes very well over the rice.
