Method

Meatballs
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

3

Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls (will make 18-20 meatballs) and place them on the lined baking sheet.

4

Space them out so they can cook evenly. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until they’re cooked through.

Sticky Sauce
1

While the meatballs are cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat.

2

Bring the sauce to a boil and continue to boil for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces by about a third. Remove from the heat.

3

When the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and stir through. Cook on a low heat for 4-5 minutes until coated and sticky.

To Serve
1

Serve the meatballs and sauce on bowls of rice. Top with the chopped spring onions, a scattering of sesame seeds and with steamed broccoli and edamame beans on the side.
