Make meatballs by combining ground beef, egg, oatmeal, salt, pepper and minced onion in a large bowl. Mix together thoroughly. Form into 1" balls. Brown meatballs on all sides thoroughly, until no pink shows in the center. Combine pepper, carrots and garlic and cook in oil until tender. Add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, bouillon, pineapple (including the juice) and 2 cup water. Add tomatoes. Bring to a rapid boil for one minute. Mix cornstarch in 1/4 c. cold water and stir into hot mixture until thick and bubbly. Just before serving, add cooked meatballs to sauce and stir together. Serve over fresh steamed rice.
