FLUFFY RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
SOME PREP
Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Finely slice the stems and set aside. Slice the green, leafy parts in half lengthways, keeping them separate from the stems.
MAKE THE MEATBALLS
In a bowl, add the Chicken mince, the grated garlic & ginger, ½ the chopped coriander, and ½ the spicy rub, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and roll into 4-5 meatballs. Set aside.
BROWN THE MEATBALLS
Place a non-stick pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
SOUTH ASIAN FLAVOURS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced spring onion, the pak choi stems and fry until soft, 2-3 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and the stock & Fish sauce. Simmer until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the meatballs and simmer until cooked through. Stir through the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener, and seasoning.
FRY THE GREENS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the long stem broccoli, and fry until slightly charred, 5-6 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the sliced pak choi leaves, the remaining spicy rub, and cook until wilted.
