Cooking Steps
• Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • In a large bowl, combine ponzu sauce and a drizzle of rice wine vinegar. Add carrot noodles and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine beef & pork mince, garlic paste, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and a generous pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Rolling your meatballs tightly makes them stick together!
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, drain the oil, then add cherry sauce and a splash of water, tossing meatballs to coat.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the glaze looks too thick.
• Meanwhile, add shredded cabbage mix and baby spinach to carrot noodles and toss to combine. • Divide carrot noodle salad between bowls. • Top with cherry-glazed beef and pork meatballs. Spoon any remaining glaze over meatballs and carrot noodles. • Sprinkle over crushed roasted cashews. Tear over coriander. Enjoy!
