Cooking Steps

1
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-14 minutes. • Drain, rinse with warm water and return to saucepan. Add butter, stir to combine and cover to keep warm. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and the soy sauce. Set aside.

• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, 1/2 the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to plate. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Remove pan from heat and add oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce and a splash of water, turning until meatballs are well coated.

• While the meatballs are cooking, in a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add Asian stir-fry mix and carrot and cook, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the tasty meatballs and sticky sweet sauce. Some found it a bit salty; others thought it bland — adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though a few found multiple steps fiddly. Great for cooking with kids, especially forming the meatballs.
  • Suggestions: Try grating carrot into meatballs for extra flavour. Consider reducing soy sauce in mayo for a thicker, less salty sauce.
  • Portions: Generous servings satisfied most, but some found the meat quantity insufficient for larger families. Leftovers made a delicious breakfast.
  • Vegetables: The stir-fry mix received mixed reviews. Some loved the variety; others found uneven vegetable distribution or quality issues.
