SILKY NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, fully submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Gently use a fork to separate them slightly. Cover with a plate and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and glassy. Drain on completion, reserving 15ml of the water for step 3. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
SPICE THINGS UP!
In a bowl, combine the mince with the grated ginger and garlic and ½ of the chopped coriander. Mix in the Chinese 5 spice, the Lime zest, and some seasoning – all to taste. Roll into 3-4 meatballs.
STICKY STIR FRY
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs for 2-3 minutes until browned all over but not cooked through, shifting as they colour. Combine the sweet ’n sticky sauce with the reserved noodle water and pour into the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly and the meatballs are cooked through, basting them with the sauce.
LOAD IT UP WITH VEG
If the sauce is too thick to coat the noodles and veg when they’re added, loosen with a little water. Toss through the edamame beans, the cooked noodles, and ½ of the cabbage and carrot. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes until the veg is warmed through, tossing regularly. Remove from the heat on completion.
ALMOST READY
Toss the remaining cabbage and carrot with 10ml of olive oil, a squeeze of Lime juice, and some seasoning.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
