Instructions

COOK RICE

  1. In a large pot over high heat add rice and the first measure of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 10 mins, then add the peas and cook a further 2 mins, or until water is absorbed and peas are tender. Fluff rice with a fork.

MAKE GLAZE & MEATBALLS

  1. Meanwhile, bring a jug of water to a boil for the glaze. For the glaze, mix honey, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and the second measure of boiling water in a small bowl. In a separate medium bowl, mix beef, egg, breadcrumbs, lemon pepper, coriander and ginger together. Season with salt and pepper. Using damp hands, roll into walnut-sized balls.

COOK MEATBALLS

  1. Heat the oil in a frypan on medium-high heat. Cook meatballs for about 8-10 mins, turning frequently, until browned and cooked through. Add glaze and cook for about 2 mins, until sticky and slightly reduced.

MAKE SLAW

  1. Julienne or thinly slice the cucumber. In a large bowl combine cucumber, Asian slaw mix, apple cider vinegar and third measure of oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

TO SERVE

  1. Divide the pea rice between plates, top with the Vietnamese sticky beef meatballs and spoon over any leftover glaze. Serve with the Asian slaw on the side.
