145ml apple cider vinegar
3 tsp sugar
200g fresh coleslaw mix
¼ cup hoisin sauce
½ tsp honey
20g fresh ginger, finely grated
400g extra-lean pork mince
1 large zucchini, grated
1 tsp jarred minced garlic
2 baby gem lettuce, leaves separated
½ cup coriander leaves (optional)
4 tbs sriracha mayonnaise (optional)
You can swap:
Step 1
Combine ½ cup vinegar and sugar in a large shallow dish. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Cover and set aside in the fridge.
Step 2
To make the sticky meatball sauce, combine hoisin, honey, ginger and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Add the mince, zucchini and garlic to a large bowl. Season with pepper and mix well.
Step 4
Using damp hands, roll level tablespoons of mince mixture into 34 meatballs.
Step 5
Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, for 3 minutes or until cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
Add a splash of water to deglaze the pan. Add the reserved sauce and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return the meatballs to the pan, along with any juices, and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, until the meatballs are coated and sticky.
Step 7
Drain the pickling liquid from the coleslaw mix.
Step 8
Top lettuce leaves with pickled coleslaw and meatballs. Drizzle over the sriracha and scatter with coriander, if using. Serve.
