Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Rinse the rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 min or until tender with a slight bite
Once cooked, drain and return to the pot and cover until serving
2
Meanwhile, grab a clean plate for the next step
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Combine the garlic, beef mince, egg, breadcrumbs and 1 (2) soy sauce sachets in a large mixing bowl
Season generously with salt and pepper and mix well (use clean hands)
3
Divide the mince mixture into 6 (12) portions
Shape each portion into a ball (use wet hands for easy shaping)
Transfer the balls onto your plate and refrigerate until step 6
4
Wash, quarter and shred the cabbage very thinly (discard the woody stem)
Heat a large, wide-based pan (with a matching lid) over a high heat with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
Once hot, add the shredded cabbage and cook on a high heat for 2 min
5
Add a lid, turn the heat down to medium and cook for a further 4 min or until the cabbage is cooked but retains a slight crunch
Once cooked, remove from the heat
Add the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar to the cabbage and mix through, then cover and set aside until serving
6
Heat a separate pan with 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil on a medium-high heat
When hot, add the meatballs and cook on each side for 3 min
Add a lid and cook for a further 5-10 min or until cooked through
Set the table or do a little washing up while your meatballs are cooking!
7
Remove the lid from the meatball pan and add the hoisin sauce, moving the meatballs around for 30 seconds so that they are evenly coated and glazed
