1. Meatball time. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, Sir Kensington’s mayonnaise, garlic, ginger, curry, cilantro, and lime zest, season with a good pinch of sea salt, and mix well. Roll the mixture into small golf-ball sized meatballs. (these can be batch made and set aside)
2. Slice & dice all your salad veggies. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, fish sauce, garlic, spring onion, and chili, and mix. Toss the veggies with your salad dressing and set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium pan set over medium-heat. When the oil is hot, and working in batches as necessary, drop in the meatballs and cook, turning every minute or so, for 7 – 8 minutes, until browned on all sides.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together the chicken stock, hoisin, soy, and brown sugar in a medium bowl, then pour the sauce in with your meatballs. Bring to a simmer, then let the sauce bubble away for 5 to 6 minutes until it starts to thicken.
5. While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large stockpot of salted water to a rapid boil, and cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
6. Serve your meatballs with noodles and salad then top with scallions, mint, and basil, and serve with lime wedges. Delicious!
