Sauce
  • 5 Tbsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chilli Oil

  • 4 Tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp Lee Kum Kee XO Sauce

  • ½ tsp Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil

  • 2 Tbsp white sugar

Method

1

Cook pasta as per package, drain and set aside.

2

Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

3

Mix meat ingredients in a large bowl with your hands and form the mixture into small meatballs (approximately 20-24 meatballs).

4

Heat 3 Tbsp of oil in a large frying pan and add the meatballs. Cook on medium-high heat, turning three to four times to cook evenly. Once the meatballs are getting nice and brown, add bok choy and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove meatballs and bok choy from the frying pan and set aside.

5

Pour all the sauce ingredients into the frying pan and bring to a boil. Add pasta into the pan using chopsticks or tongs to separate.

6

Add meatballs and bok choy and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated. Add butter at the very end and allow to melt.

Garnish with deep fried shallots to serve!
