Cooking Steps
- Grate the ginger and crush or mince the garlic.
- In a bowl, combine the mince with the ginger and a third of the mayonnaise.
- Shape the mince into four or five meatballs per person (see Tip).
Tip: pack the mince tightly so as to prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
- Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs for 5 minutes until done.
- Add the soy sauce, the garlic, the East Asian-style sauce and the honey (see Tip).
- Mix well and fry for 2 more minutes, then take the pan off the heat and set aside, covered.
Health Tip: if you're watching your salt intake, omit the soy sauce and add some later while serving as preferred.
- Meanwhile, boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and cook the noodles for 1 - 2 minutes until al dente.
- Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
- Juice the lemon into a small bowl.
- Slice the cucumber into crescents and cut the tomato into wedges.
- In a salad bowl, combine the rest of the mayonnaise with 1.5 tbsp lemon juice per person. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the mesclun, cucumber, tomato, slaw mix and noodles, then toss well to combine.
- Serve the salad on plates and top with the meatballs in their sauce. Garnish with the sesame seeds.
