Meat balls in the vinegar sauce

Hello! This weekend I went to Jiyugaoka (map) where I used to live last year. It is in south-west Tokyo and one of the most want-to-live places in Tokyo and Japan.

Jiyugaoka is always full of ladies, couples and families enjoying shopping, food and walking as it's well known as a trendy areas. These are for fashion, cafes and interior design stores. The atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful but it's a bit of a pity that cars drive through the nice narrow streets.

Things are not cheap here but you can find your favorite style of interior decoration at the highest quality. Stylish, elegant, cute, modern or country... I bought some cups and plates this time.

Today's recipe is stir fried meat balls and vegetables in a vinegar sauce.
Ingredients;
minced pork
carrot
onion
ginger
salt
starch
vinegar (1tbsp)
soy sauce (1tbsp)
