Surprise lunchbox: Pork meatballs, crunchy noodle salad, honey soy dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 2 green onions
  • 250g pork mince
  • 82.50 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 1cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 x 250g packet long life noodles
  • 250.00 ml shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 250.00 ml shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2 small carrot, grated
  • 2 baby cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1.50 gm sesame seeds, toasted
  • 20.00 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 10.60 gm lemon juice
  • 42.00 gm salt-reduced soy sauce
  • 28.60 gm honey
  • 20.00 ml sesame oil
Instructions:
  • Finely chop half of the onion. Mix together ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg yolk, minced garlic, minced ginger, and the chopped onion in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 12 balls using leveled tablespoons. Place the balls on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • In a large, deep frying pan over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water until they are chilled. Drain well and place them in a bowl. Roughly chop the noodles using kitchen scissors.
  • Prepare the Honey Soy Dressing by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. Divide the dressing into 4 separate 1-tablespoon-capacity airtight containers and store in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Slice the remaining onion thinly. Combine the onion, lettuce, cabbage, carrot, and cucumber with the noodles. Toss everything together. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Store the salad and meatballs in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, divide the salad and meatballs among lunchboxes and add dressing containers. Drizzle with dressing just before enjoying.
