KOREAN MEATBALL RAMEN
SERVES 2 // READY IN 20 MINS // 515 CALS
This is a great one for evenings when you want something cosy but still full of flavour. The meatballs cook straight in the broth, which means less fuss and more taste, and the ginger and sriracha give it a nice bit of heat. With noodles, edamame and a squeeze of lime at the end, it turns into a bright, comforting bowl of ramen that feels a bit special without taking long.

Place the minced beef in a mixing bowl, breaking it up with your fingers. Add the chilli powder, tomato paste and half tsp of garlic paste to the minced beef. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Knead the mixture together with your hands until thoroughly combined. Then divide into 8-10 small meatballs.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the edamame or soya beans and simmer for a further 5 minutes, or until the edamame are cooked with a bite and the meatballs are cooked through.

Add the spring (green) onions and rice noodles and simmer for a further 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, then add the juice of the lime.
STEP 5
Divide the ramen between your bowls and add a tbsp of kimchee to each. Serve.
