Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely grate the ginger. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Chop the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half moons. Zest the lime to get a good pinch and slice into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the kecap manis, ginger, 2 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 the garlic, sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime juice and the zest.

2

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. In a medium bowl, combine the pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, egg, 1 tbs of soy sauce and the remaining garlic. Combine well, then, using damp hands, take a tablespoon of mixture and shape into a small meatball. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining mixture. The mixture should make around 4-5 meatballs per person.

3

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mixed sesame seeds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and broccoli cook, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Set aside in a covered bowl.

4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with the remaining sesame oil blend. Add the pork meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Reduce the heat to medium if the meatballs are browning too quickly. Add the sauce and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove the frying pan from the heat, and place the meatballs into a medium bowl, reserving the sauce in the pan. Add the noodles and veggies to the sauce, and stir to combine.

5

While the meatballs are cooking, add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook until soft, 4 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water.

6

Divide the noodles and veggies between bowls and top with the meatballs. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve with any remaining lime wedges.
