- Chicken Mince
- Coconut Milk
- Flat Rice Noodles
- Fresh Coriander
- Lime
- NOMU Oriental Rub
- Onion
- Shredded Red Cabbage and Julienne Carrots

From your kitchen:

- Salt & Pepper
- Water
PREP THE MEATBALLS & TOAST THE NUTS
Place the mince in a bowl with the Oriental Rub. Add a quarter of the diced Onion (or to your taste preference). Mix until well combined and season to taste. Wet your hands slightly and roll into 4-5 meatballs. Set aside until frying. Place the cashews in a pot over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
THAI CURRY SAUCE
Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the remaining diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Mix in the curry paste (to taste) and fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the Coconut Milk and stir until the curry paste has incorporated into the liquid. Stir through the butternut cubes and bring to a simmer. Pop on a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
FRY THE MEATBALLS
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and caramelised. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for step 5.
RICE NOODLES & ZESTY CABBAGE
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir and cover with a plate. Set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and glassy. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking. Place a quarter of the cabbage and carrot in a bowl and toss through some Lime zest and the juice of 1 lime wedge. Set aside for serving.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Once the sauce has thickened and the butternut is cooked, add in the shredded Spinach and the remaining cabbage and carrot. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Squeeze in the juice of 1 Lime wedge, stir through some lime zest, and season to taste. Add in the cooked meatballs and toss until coated in sauce. Remove the pot from the heat.
BOWL UP!
Serve up some rice noodles, spoon over the Thai curried veg and sauce, and top with the meatballs. Scatter over the zesty slaw, chopped coriander, and chopped, toasted cashews. Garnish with some Lime zest to taste and serve with a lime wedge on the side. Delish, Chef!
