to serve

Place spring onions, ginger, chilli, coriander, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and lemon in a kitchen processor. Blitz until ingredients are well combined, but still a bit chunky.

Place lamb into a large bowl and add the blitzed mix.

Cut 1 cup of noodles into small pieces and add to lamb. Use your hands to combine the mixture well.

Roll lamb into walnut-sized balls. Wrap the remaining noodles around each ball. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

Heat oven to 180C.

Heat oil in a frying pan to a medium heat. Sear noodle balls on all sides, then place them on a baking tray lined with paper. When they are all browned place into a hot oven for 10 minutes to cook through.
