While we love broccoli I prefer this recipe with sugar snap peas. I think the tender crisp texture goes so much better with meatballs. Use broccoli if you desire but know that the star is really the wonderful meatballs. Serve with rice; use your Instantpot to keep it nice and warm.

Susie's Tips and Tricks
If you like a bit of spice in your sauce add a smidge of Thai chili sauce.
For this recipe use fresh ginger. Did you know you can freeze a knob of ginger? I highly recommend keeping some in the freezer as needed.
Use ground turkey if desired; don't go too low on the fat percentage however, as it will give you very dry results.
