Asian Steamed Pork Meatballs Sesame Noodles Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
• Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the pork, finely chopped chilli, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, two-thirds of the sesame seeds and the coriander stalks. Roll into 16 meatballs. Place on a baking-parchment-lined tray and bake for 15 mins until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the sliced chilli and the ginger, and cook for 1 min. Add the chicken stock, remaining hoisin and soy sauces, and bring to the boil. Tip in the noodles and cook for 3 mins. Add the broccoli and simmer for 3-4 mins until just cooked. Top with the meatballs and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and the coriander leaves to serve.
