Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine half the garlic, honey, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the noodles.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 3cm chunks.
Halve and peel the onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges. Halve the lime and cut into wedges.
When boiling, add the noodles to the water and cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the pepper chunks and onion, season with salt and pepper and fry until softened, 4-5 mins.
Put the hoisin sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl. Add the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and mix together.
Stir the remaining garlic into the veg pan and cook for 1 minute, then add the noodles, cooked meatballs and hoisin sauce.
Mix well to combine, cook until everything's piping hot and the sauce has thickened to coat the noodles. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
Remove the pan from the heat and add a squeeze of lime juice from a lime wedge. Taste and add salt, pepper and more lime juice if you feel it needs it.
Share the noodles and meatballs between your bowls and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
Enjoy!
