SERVINGS:
makes about 7 dozen meatballs

PREP TIME:
20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds lean ground pork
1 cup ice water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. With hands or wooden spoon mix pork, water, soy sauce and pepper thoroughly in large bowl. Shape into 3/4 -inch balls (mixture will be fairly soft and balls will not be perfect). Arrange closely together in single layer on ungreased shallow baking pan, like a jelly-roll pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Remove from pan, and serve immediately with a dipping sauce, like your favorite salad dressings (Russian, Thousand Island, Ranch) or choose from the suggestions below. Use toothpicks to skewer meatballs to dip. Or remove from pan, cool, cover and freeze or refrigerate. Serve cold or reheated.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
These meatballs are convenient to have on hand, in the freezer. Serve for snacks with dipping sauces. Add halved meatballs to potato, macaroni, three-bean and chef salads. They’re great for making grinder sandwiches, too.
