These meatballs are like nothing you’ve had before! The teriyaki glaze gives these morsels of deliciousness an amazing flavour while the jasmine rice gets a hit of sesame. Just add a refreshing slaw with some extra sweetness from the pear to tie the meal together.
Keep an eye out... Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced pear with apple, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

• In a medium saucepan, bring the water (for the rice) to the boil. Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, roughly chop garlic and baby spinach leaves. Thinly slice apple. • In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, the brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine ginger paste, garlic, beef mince, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Add teriyaki sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until meatballs are well coated, 1-2 minutes.
• While the meatballs are cooking, combine garlic aioli and remaining rice wine vinegar in a large bowl. Add slaw mix, baby spinach and apple. Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Stir toasted sesame seeds through rice. • Divide sesame rice between bowls. Top with teriyaki-glazed beef meatballs, spooning over any remaining glaze. • Garnish with crushed peanuts. Serve with apple slaw. Enjoy!
