What is a Mongolian Meatball? Well, it's not a punk band. ("I saw Mongolian Meatball open for The Clash in '81!") It's also not a pro-wrestler from Mongolia. ("And that's when the Mongolian Meatball threw him down in a wicked suplex.") No, Mongolian meatballs take the delicious flavors from Mongolian beef… spicy, sweet, onion-y… and brings them to you in meatball form. Fresh broccoli, crunchy peanuts, and green onions bring this meal up to perfection standards, better than any concert or sporting event.
