3 Method / Steps

Step 1

Place the beef, carrot, breadcrumbs, garlic, ginger, egg and 1 tbsp soy sauce in a bowl. Use clean hands to mix until well combined. Shape tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls to make 24 in total.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until well browned. Cook the noodles following packet directions.

Step 3

Whisk together the sugar, hoisin, remaining soy sauce and 60ml (1 ⁄4 cup) water in a jug. Add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Top with broccoli. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes or until broccoli is just tender. Uncover. Simmer for 2 minutes or until thickened. Divide the noodles and meatball mixture among serving plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
