Instructions
• To a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice pear. • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the vinegar. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine ginger paste, garlic, beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the salt and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Add the oyster sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until the meatballs are well coated, 1-2 minutes. TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
• While the meatballs are cooking, combine garlic aioli and remaining vinegar in a large bowl. • Add slaw mix and pear. Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Divide rice between bowls. Top with Asian-glazed beef meatballs, spooning over any remaining glaze. • Serve with pear slaw. Garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
