One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Wake up the lemongrass

Mix pork with lemongrass, ginger, green tops, tamari, egg, salt and pepper. Chill for 10 minutes so the mixture firms.

Roll loosely

Shape into roughly 20 meatballs with small natural variations. Do not compress them smooth.

Brown in batches

Heat infused oil in a broad pan. Cook meatballs in two batches for 8 to 10 minutes, turning as each side browns.

Dress the noodles

Soak or cook noodles according to the packet, drain and toss with lime juice and fish sauce. Fold through cucumber, carrot and herbs.

Serve with the pan crumbs

Pile tangled noodles into bowls and add meatballs plus every crisp lemongrass crumb from the pan.
