Sesame Beef Meatballs W/ Soba Noodles, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

  • 1 x packet Cleavers Organic beef meatballs

Glaze

  • 2 tbs gochujang
  • 1 tbs sweet soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 tbs honey

To serve

  • 1 bundle of soba noodles, cooked as per packet instructions
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup frozen edamame, prepared as per packet instructions
  • 1 lebanese cucumber, halved lengthwise, sliced
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • Spring onions, sliced, to garnish
  • Sesame seeds, to garnish

Method

  1. Cook your Cleavers Organic Beef Meatballs in a large skillet with a little oil over a medium–high heat until golden brown on all sides.
  2. While the meatballs are browning, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Pour over meatballs and toss through the sauce until it reduces slightly and becomes shiny and sticky!
  3. Build your lunch box (or serve up for dinner!), lay a bed of soba noodles dressed with a little sesame oil, add portions of edamame, cucumber, cashews and top with the glazed meatballs. Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

You’ll find gochujang at Asian grocers and larger supermarkets.
