Directions

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180c fan . Chuck everything for the meatballs, apart from the neutral oil, into a food processor and blitz for a few minutes until you have a smooth mix. Wet your hands and roll into 16 meatballs.
2
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 3-4 minutes on two sides until golden. Pop the pan into the oven and cook for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
3
Meanwhile, cook the noodles for 3-4 minutes or until al dente. Drain and refresh.
4
To make the dressing, whisk together the peanut butter and water. It will split and look horrid, but keep going and it will come back together, then whisk in all the other ingredients until lovely and creamy.
5
Chuck all the ingredients for the salad into a bowl apart from the sesame seeds. Pour over most of the dressing and toss together. Divide between four serving bowls and top with the meat balls. Pour over the remaining dressing, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and dive on in.
