Cooking Steps

COOK THE GARLIC RICE
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). 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!

GET PREPPED
2

While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the red onion (see ingredients list). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add enough water to cover the onion completely and stir to coat. Set aside until serving time. 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).

COOK THE MEATBALLS
3

In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, hoisin sauce (see ingredients list), 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. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Cover with foil to keep warm.

COOK THE VEGGIES
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Add the sugar snap peas and cook, tossing, until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1-2 minutes.

SERVE UP DINNER
5

Set aside two portions 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 (if using).

pack lunch
6

When you're ready to pack your lunch, cut the reserved meatballs in half and divide between two microwavable containers. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into thin matchsticks (or grate if you prefer). Thinly slice the cucumber into halfmoons. Divide 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 packages. 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!
