ORIENTAL MEATBALLS

To Make Oriental Meatballs: preheat oven to 375F. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Roll heaping teaspoons of meat mixture into 30 balls of about ½ inch diameter. Place on a nonstick 15" x 10" jelly roll pan, or coat pan with non-stick vegetable spray. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 - 15 minutes. Drain off any drippings before serving. Makes 30 meatballs.

While meatballs bake, cook noodles in lightly salted boiling water, until just tender. Cook fresh noodles 3 - 5 minutes, cook dry noodles 5 - 7 minutes. Drain cooked noodles; rinse with hot water. Pour noodles into a medium bowl; keep warm. In saucepan used to cook noodles, combine broth, ⅓ C water, soy sauce and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add drained noodles; stir gently until coated. Cut green onions into brushes or into 2-inch pieces.

Cut each piece length wise into thin strips.
