Umami Mushroom Beef Meatballs
with edamame beans & carrot
When we use the word ‘umami’ in a recipe name, we plan on bringing bags of flavour, Chef! Sweet soy sauce, fish sauce & sambal oelek combine to create a culinary sensation for your palate. This sauce is poured over juicy, browned beef meatballs, coating earthy mushrooms too. Served with plump edamame beans, crunchy oven-roasted carrot & garnished with toasted sesame seeds & spring onion.

MEATBALLS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes, shifting as they colour.

Cook until reduced and slightly sticky, 2-4 minutes. Remove from the pan.
