Ingredients
Rice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 300g jasmine rice
- 2 1/4 cup boiling water
Meatballs
- 500g wagyu beef mince
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 drizzle of oil
- 2/3 pack miso glaze
Greens
- 1 pack broccolini
- 200g green beans
To Serve
- 2 radish, cut into matchsticks
- 1/3 pack miso glaze
- 1 bunch coriander
- 4 Tbsp togarashi crema
Steps
-
Bring a kettle to the boil. Bring a pot of hot salted water to the boil.
-
Add sesame oil, rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt to a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
In a bowl, combine beef with breadcrumbs and salt measure, until well combined. Use a tablespoon measure and lightly oiled hands to shape mixture into small balls (be gentle; if meatballs are packed too tightly, they can turn out tough).
-
Heat oil in a frypan on medium heat. Cook meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through. Drain off excess fat in last minute of cook time and add first measure of miso glaze to coat meatballs. Rest, covered, for 2-3 minutes.
-
Add broccolini and beans to pot of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain, return to pot and season to taste with salt.
-
Cut radish into matchsticks.
-
Top rice and meatballs with radish, second measure of miso glaze and coriander. Serve greens on the side and drizzle with togarashi crema.
