BEEF BALLS: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with minced onion.
Add egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper.
Blend well but do not overhandle meat.
Form into walnut-size balls.
Heat stock to boiling.
Add beef balls a few at a time (to keep temperature of stock from dropping to rapidly) and simmer, covered, until done, about 30 minutes.
SWEET-N-PUNGENT SAUCE.
Bring stock to a boil.
Add sugar, stirring, and cook another minute to dissolve.
Add vinegar; cook 1 minute more.
Meanwhile blend cornstarch, soy sauce, and water to a paste.
Then stir in to thicken.
Pour sauce over cooked beef balls.
Variations: For the sugar use brown sugar or honey.
For the vinegar, use cider vinegar.
For the soy sauce, use heavy soy sauce.
