Finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Trim the baby broccoli. Drain the bamboo shoots (see ingredients).
In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, 1/2 the garlic and a pinch of salt. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of the pork mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the cauliflower rice until softened, 2-4 minutes. Add the butter and remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Season, transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate.
Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot and baby broccoli until tender, 4-5 minutes.

Stir to combine.
