Garlic Beef Meatball Noodles
with bell pepper and pak choi
Juicy garlicky pork meatballs and thick saucy udon noodles are the standout components of this dish, but the sticky and sweet sauce comprised of sweet chilli sauce, ketjap manis and soy sauce for a hint of umami is also well worth a shout out!

Cooking Steps
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Add the breadcrumbs, pork mince and half the garlic to a medium bowl.
- Season with ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and pepper.
- Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
- Shape into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
NOTE: Swapping to beef mince? Follow the recipe as written, replacing 'pork' with 'beef' where necessary.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs and fry until browned all over and cooked through, shifting as they colour, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Set aside and cover to keep warm. Reserve the pan to use later.
- Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Trim the pak choi, quarter lengthways and separate the leaves.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary.
- Once hot, fry the onion and bell pepper until softened, 4-5 mins.
- Add remaining garlic, cook for 1 min, then add the red Thai paste, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, ketjap manis and 75ml water (per 2P).
- Add the meatballs and pak choi then bring to the boil. Carefully stir to wilt the pak choi.
- Cook until the sauce has reduced slightly and the meatballs are warmed, 1-2 mins.
- Carefully separate the noodles with your hands.
- Add the noodles to the pan and stir until everything is well combined and warmed through, 1 min.
- Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- Taste your dish and season with salt and pepper if required.
- When everything is ready, divide your garlic pork noodles between bowls.
