Savory Mongolian-style meatballs with chow mein noodles, featuring a flavorful salty-sweet sauce, packed with veggies and lean beef for a healthier, budget-friendly option.
Ingredients:
  • 500g lean beef mince
  • 1 carrot, peeled, finely grated
  • 25g (1 ⁄2 cup) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 80ml (1 ⁄3 cup) soy sauce
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 280g packet dried chow mein noodles
  • 70g (1 ⁄3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 80ml (1 ⁄3 cup) hoisin sauce
  • 250g broccoli, cut into florets
  • Sesame seeds, toasted, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine the beef, carrot, breadcrumbs, garlic, ginger, egg, and 1 tbsp soy sauce in a bowl, then use your hands to mix until fully incorporated. Shape the mixture into 24 small balls.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, sizzle the meatballs until deeply golden, turning occasionally for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the noodles as per package instructions.
  • Combine sugar, hoisin sauce, remaining soy sauce, and 60ml (1 ⁄4 cup) water in a jug, then pour the mixture into a frying pan. Cook on low heat covered for 5 minutes. Add broccoli, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender. Uncover and simmer for 2 more minutes until thickened. Serve noodles and meatball mixture on plates, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
