Instructions
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water to the pan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the 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, thinly slice the red onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch the sliced onion in your hands, then add it to the pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the onion and stir to coat. Set aside until serving. Thinly slice the spring onion. Trim the sugar snap peas and cut in half. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Pick the mint leaves and roughly chop. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using).
In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, hoisin sauce, spring onion, fine breadcrumbs, egg and remaining garlic. Using damp hands, take a spoonful of mixture and shape into a small meatball. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining mixture. You should get around 4-5 meatballs per person. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Cook the sugar snap peas, tossing, until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Set aside a portion of the pork meatballs for lunch. Drain the pickled onion. Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the veggies, pork meatballs and 1/2 the pickled onion. Drizzle with the sweet chilli sauce and garnish with 1/2 the mint and the chilli.
When you're ready to pack your lunch, cut the reserved meatballs in half and divide between two microwavable containers. Cut the carrot into thin sticks (or grate if you prefer). Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Divide the 4 classic wraps, carrot, cucumber, mixed salad leaves, the remaining mint and pickled onion and a tub of coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise between two lunch containers. Refrigerate. At lunch, microwave the meatballs in 30 second bursts until heated through. Spread the mayonnaise over the wraps and top with veggies and meatballs. Roll up and enjoy!
