We've created tender beef meatballs, which we add to a vibrant and creamy slaw with an extra burst of flavour from ponzu sauce - a Japanese pantry staple with a kick of citrus. Sprinkle over some spring onion and go for your life.

Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, water and half the garlic. Set aside.
Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!
• In a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, ginger paste, the egg, chicken-style stock powder and remaining garlic. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place meatballs into air fryer basket and cook until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Add the honey-soy mixture and stir until the meatballs are coated in the sauce.
TIP: No air fryer? Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook meatballs, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. In the last minute, add the honey-soy mixture, tossing, until coated.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber and celery. Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). • In a medium bowl, combine plant-based mayo, ponzu sauce, cucumber, celery, slaw mix, baby leaves and crushed peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Thinly slice spring onion. • Divide cucumber slaw between bowls. Top with honey, soy and ginger beef meatballs. • Spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan. • Garnish with chilli and spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
