Instructions
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-14 minutes. • Drain rice, rinse with warm water and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, stir to combine and cover to keep warm. • While the rice is cooking, trim green beans. Slice courgette into half-moons.
• In a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, sweet soy seasoning and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Add lemongrass & ginger paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove the pan from heat, then add hoisin sauce, the soy sauce, brown sugar and a splash of water. Toss until meatballs are well coated.
• Meanwhile, heat a second large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook green beans and courgette until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add a drizzle of sesame oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide jasmine rice and veggies between bowls. Top with hoisin beef meatballs and spoon over any remaining sauce. • Garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
