Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; shape mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F and cook the meatballs for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. Oven method: bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, brown sugar, chicken broth, ketchup, tomato paste, pineapple juice, and cornstarch until well blended.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour sauce into the vegetable mixture, stirring continuously. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Gently add cooked meatballs and pineapple chunks to the pan, tossing to coat. Heat everything together for 2 minutes.
- Serve over fluffy white rice or egg noodles, garnishing with green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes
Avoid overmixing the meatball mixture for tenderness. Taste the sauce before adding meatballs, adjusting sweetness or tanginess as desired.
