Instructions
Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely grate the ginger. Chop the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half moons. Zest the lime to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the kecap manis, ginger, soy sauce (for the sauce), 1/2 the garlic, 1/2 the sesame oil blend (see ingredients list), a good squeeze of lime juice and the lime zest.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. In a medium bowl, combine the pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, egg, the soy sauce (for the pork) and the remaining garlic. Combine well, then, using damp hands, take a tablespoon of mixture and shape into a small meatball. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining mixture. The mixture should make around 4-5 meatballs per person.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients list) and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot, broccoli and a splash of water and cook, until softened, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with the remaining sesame oil blend. Add the pork meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Add the ginger-soy sauce and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Reduce the heat to medium if the meatballs are browning too quickly.
While the meatballs are cooking, add the flat noodles to the boiling water and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water. Remove the frying pan from the heat, and place the meatballs into a medium bowl, reserving the sauce in the pan. Add the noodles and veggies to the sauce, and stir to combine.
Divide the noodles and veggies between bowls and top with the Indonesian pork meatballs. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve with any remaining lime wedges.
