Ingredients

500g Turkey Mince

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tbsp dark soy sauce + 2 tsp

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

4 scallions, sliced

thumb sized piece of ginger, grated

1.5 tbsp cornflour

Large bag of spinach

large handful of green beans

4 tbsp tahini paste

2 tbsp sesame seeds

spray oil

Salt and Pepper

Method

In a bowl, combine the mirin, the soy sauce, honey and 3 tbsp of water into a bowl. Mix well. That’s your sauce.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey mince, scallions, ginger, cornflour, baking soda, and seasoning. Mix well, and with wet hands, make 24 meatballs.

Place onto a sheet of baking paper and pop into the fridge to firm up

Make the dressing by combining the tahini paste, 2 tsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of water, 1 tsp of honey. Add a little more water to get a pouring consistency. Mix well and set aside.

In your largest non stick pan sprayed with oil, fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on either side. Add the sauce that you made at the start.

Steam your green beans and spinach separately until the green beans are cooked to your liking and the spinach wilted. Add the cooked veggies into the pan with the meatballs, and toss everything together and simmer for a minute.

Serve with 60g Cooked basmati per person. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and drizzle with the tahini dressing
