Thai Pork Meatball Soup & Daikon Noodles

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, Thai seven spice blend, pork mince and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonful of the pork mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate.

SPICY! The curry paste is spicy so use a little less if you prefer your soup mild. While the meatballs are cooking, heat a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the Thai green curry paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add the coconut milk, chicken-style stock powder, soy sauce and the water to the saucepan and cook until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Add the Asian greens, daikon noodles and pork meatballs and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste
