½ tbs

1
egg
(Contains Egg; )
1 tbs

1 tbs

Finely grate the ginger and garlic. Thinly slice the pear. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves.
In a small bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, beef mince, fine breadcrumbs and egg. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of the beef mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Add the teriyaki sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until the meatballs are well coated, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Reduce the heat to medium if the meatballs are browning too quickly.
While the meatballs are cooking, combine the garlic aioli and remaining rice wine vinegar in a large bowl. Add the slaw mix, baby spinach and pear. Toss to coat and season to taste. Microwave the microwavable basmati rice until steaming, 3 minutes.
Stir the toasted sesame seeds through the rice. Divide the sesame rice between bowls. Top with the teriyaki-glazed beef meatballs, spooning over any remaining glaze. Serve with the pear slaw. Garnish with the crushed peanuts to serve.
