Ingredients:
3 shallots
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
500 g finely minced lean beef
1 cup rice
1 tablespoon oil
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
150 g snow peas
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cornflour
Directions:
Put a pan of water on to boil.
In a bowl mix shallots with ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sugar.
In another bowl, put minced beef and add half the soy mixture.
Mix well to combine and shape into 20 meatballs.
Add rice to the boiling water and put another pan of water on to boil.
Prepare carrots and top and tail snow peas.
Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry meatballs, turning them until they are browned and cooked through- about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add carrot to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes, then add snow peas and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Mix water and corn flour into the remaining soy mixture and add to the meatballs, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and bubbles.
Boil for a minute or so, then serve meatballs and sauce with drained rice and vegetables.
