Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Add brown rice and a generous pinch of salt, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, until rice is soft, 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the honey, low sodium soy sauce (for the glaze), a dash of water and mixed sesame seeds (reserving a pinch for garnish). Set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the low sodium soy sauce (for the meatballs), the egg and a good pinch of salt and pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 meatballs per person). Transfer to a plate.
• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a 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). • Remove from heat and add sesame-honey mixture, turning to coat.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
• While the meatballs are cooking, trim and thinly slice pea pods lengthways. Grate carrot.
• To saucepan with the brown rice, add shredded cabbage mix, carrot, snow peas, sesame oil blend, the rice wine vinegar and Japanese dressing. • Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Divide Japanese-style brown rice salad between bowls. • Top with sesame-honey beef meatballs. • Dollop over mayonnaise. • Sprinkle over remaining mixed sesame seeds to serve. Enjoy!
