Cooking Steps
• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, ginger & lemongrass paste, fine breadcrumbs and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person), then flatten slightly. Transfer to a plate. • In a large saucepan, 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). • Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
TIP: Letting the mixture rest helps the meatballs hold their shape while cooking.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • Trim green beans and slice into thirds. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Return saucepan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, tossing, until slightly tender, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the boiling water (3 cups for 2 people / 6 cups for 4 people), vegetable stock powder, soy sauce mix, char siu paste and vinegar. • Bring to the boil. Add egg noodles and green beans, then cover with a lid. • Reduce to a simmer and cook until noodles are tender, 4-5 minutes. In the last minute, gently stir noodles with a fork to separate. Season to taste.
• Remove pan from from heat, then return meatballs to pan, gently stirring to combine. • Divide one-pot char siu pork meatball and noodle soup between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
