You can turn this mix into fancy little party sticks, although I’m just not sure I’m ready for that on a Tuesday.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
For the meatballs, blitz the 1/4 of the garlic, the lime zest and juice, shallot, lemongrass, lime leaf and the sesame oil into a semi-smooth paste. Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, drain and leave to cool, then toss with a little oil to prevent them from sticking.
Step 2
Once blended, combine this with the chicken mince, red curry paste and chopped beans, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Rinse the cooked noodles under hot water and add to the pan, along with the sauce you made earlier.
Step 4
Using a teaspoon, scoop rough little balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper. You’re going for about 30 meatballs. Work out how many you want to eat (I go about 7-8 per person). Make a sauce from the soy, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce a little **sesame oil and the honey.
Step 5
In a hot, lightly oiled frying pan over high heat, fry off the meatballs in batches until nicely browned. Add the chopped Asian greens and saute for 2 minutes until slightly charred, then add the remaining chopped garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes.
Step 6
Toss the whole lot together well until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve with lime wedges.
