Ingredients

450g pack turkey mince

1 tsp dried crushed chillies

4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tbsp sunflower oil

400ml chicken stock made with 1 reduced-salt stock cube

3 tbsp Asda Sweet Chilli Sauce

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 level tbsp cornflour, mixed with 2 tbsp water

300g basmati rice

2 x 200g packs pak choi, trimmed

Method

1
Mix the mince, chillies, half the spring onions and 1 tbsp soy sauce together in a bowl. Shape into 12 even-sized meatballs with wet hands.
2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the meatballs until brown all over (you may need to do this in 2 batches). Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
3
Add a third of the stock to the pan and heat until it simmers, stirring with a wooden spoon to shift any meat stuck to the pan.
4
Return the meatballs to the pan with the rest of the stock, the remaining soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and vinegar.
5
Bring back to the boil, reduce the heat and partially cover. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
6
Add the cornflour paste and heat for a further 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions and steam or lightly boil the pak choi. Serve with the meatballs.
