  1. GLASSY NOODLES

    Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season and set aside to rehydrate, 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

  2. MINCE MATE

    In a bowl, combine the mince, ½ the spring onion whites (to taste), ¼ of the curry paste (to taste), and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs. Set aside.

  3. FRY THE MEATBALLS

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.

  4. CUCUMBER SALAD

    Place the cucumber matchsticks into a bowl with the lime juice, ½ the chopped coriander, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. GREEN CURRY SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the remaining curry paste, the grated ginger (to taste), and remaining spring onion whites until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut milk and 50ml of water. Simmer until reduced, 4-6 minutes. Add the browned meatballs to the sauce to cook through, 1-2 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning.

  6. GET BOWLED OVER!

    Bowl up the cooked noodles. Ladle in the green curry sauce and meatballs and garnish with the remaining chopped coriander and the spring onion greens. Finish with the lime-cucumber matchsticks. Wow, Chef!
