Steamed lime & garlic meatballs in a coconut Thai-style sauce | Good Food

250g beef mince
Zest of one lime
3 garlic cloves
minced
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg
2 tbsp soft breadcrumbs
400ml coconut milk
1 tbsp green Thai curry paste
150g edamame beans
(fresh or frozen)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp light soy sauce
150g jasmine rice

For the garnish

1 lime
sliced into wedges
Handful of fresh coriander
roughly chopped

Method

step 1
Place the beef mince, lime zest, minced garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl and mix with your hands or a fork until the mixture is combined.
step 2
Form the mince mixture into meatballs. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands and form meatballs the size of a golf ball.
step 3
Get yourself a large saucepan and place a small bowl upside down in the pot and surround it with boiling water until it’s 1/2 inch from being submerged.
step 4
In a flat-bottomed bowl (that can fit in your saucepan), add in the coconut milk, green thai curry paste, edamame beans, sugar, and light soy sauce. Combine well so that the sauce is mixed. Top with your meatballs.
step 5
Gently place your meatball bowl on top of the upside down bowl in the saucepan and add on your lid. Steam on medium-low heat for 15-20 mins.
step 6
Meanwhile, prepare your jasmine rice according to packet instructions. After your meatballs and rice are cooked, divide the components between two bowls. Top with a squeeze of lime, fresh coriander, and enjoy!
