Directions
- To make the meatballs, mix pork mince, garlic, lemongrass, chilli (if using) spring onion, coriander, sesame oil salt, paper and lime zest in a bowl. Roll each 1 table of mixture into a ball. Make about 22 meatballs. Place on a greased baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 190C for 10 minutes. If not cooked through after 10 minutes, turn meatballs to the other side and bake for another 5 minutes
- Place the rice noodles in a bowl. Pour boiling water from a kettle over the noodles to cover. Leave to soften for a few minutes. Drain and stir it occasionally to help cooling.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients to create dressing.
- Spoon the meatballs, rice noodles, dressing and salad vegetables in alternating layers in a large glass bowl. Top with mint leaves and fried shallots to serve.
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute the pork meatballs with baked eggplant.
