Honey-Soy Pork Meatballs
with Ponzu & Peanut Pea Pod Slaw
Revisit the classic honey-soy duo, but add a HelloFresh twist! We've created tender pork meatballs, which are served on a crunchy cucumber slaw instead of rice, with an extra burst of flavour from ponzu sauce - a Japanese pantry staple with a kick of citrus.

Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, water and half the garlic. Set aside. • In a large bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, ginger paste, chicken-style stock powder and remaining garlic. • Using damp hands, form spoonfuls of pork mixture into meatballs (5-6 per person). Transfer to a plate.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!
• Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place meatballs into air fryer basket and cook until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Cook in batches if needed. • In the last 5 minutes of cook time, brush over honey-soy mixture and cook until browned and sticky.
TIP: No air fryer? 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. In the last minute, add honey-soy mixture and cook, stirring, until meatballs are coated. Remove from heat.
• While meatballs are cooking, trim and slice pea pods lengthways. • In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ponzu, pea pods, cabbage leaves, baby spinach leaves and crushed peanuts. • Season with pepper. Toss to coat.
Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the slaw!
• Thinly slice spring onions. • Divide ponzu and peanut pea pod slaw and honey-soy pork meatballs between plates. Spoon over any extra glaze from the pan. • Sprinkle with spring onions to serve. Enjoy!
