Sticky Plum Meatballs With Rice
"Just love sticky recipes and especially plum ones, this one is from Recipe+, I would personally add a finely diced small red chilli to give a little zing and would add into the plum marinade and mirin. This is a microwave recipe and may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave unfortunately they don't state a wattage. They also suggest you could double the meatball mix and freeze for another day. No mirin use lemon juice. You could also use a mix of beef or lamb mince insteal of pork and beal but you will need to process 2 slices of day old white bread to make crumbs."

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
