• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook udon noodles over medium-high heat until tender, 3-4 minutes. • In last minute of cook time, gently stir noodles with a fork to separate. • Drain, rinse and set aside.

• Roughly chop Asian greens and spring onion. Halve baby broccoli. Drain the sweetcorn. • Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Cook spring onion and sweetcorn, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.

• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, sweet soy seasoning, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and a pinch of pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

• Add garlic paste, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add oyster sauce, beef-style stock powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and the water and bring to the boil.

• Add noodles, baby broccoli and Asian greens, and simmer until just wilted and tender, 3-4 minutes.

• Divide pho-style beef meatball and baby broccoli soup between bowls. Top with charred corn and spring onion. • Tear over coriander and sprinkle with crispy shallots. Serve with sriracha. Enjoy!
