Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil on medium-high heat. Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Thinly slice widthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press), peel and grate the ginger. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Zest and halve the lime.
Put the pork mince into a large bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, salt for the meatballs (see ingredients for amount), half the ginger and a grind of pepper. Mix together with your hands until completely combined, then shape into small meatballs (5 per person). Pop them onto a plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Add the noodles to the pan of boiling water and simmer until tender, 4 mins, then drain in a colander. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan or wok on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and fry, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
Add a little more oil to the (now empty) pan along with the carrot and sugar snap peas and stir-fry until softened, 3-4 mins. Turn the heat to medium, add the garlic and remaining ginger to the veg, cook for 1 min more. Add the ketjap manis, soy sauce and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) to the pan. Squeeze in half the lime juice. Add the meatballs, lime zest and cooked noodles, then toss everything together. Cook until piping hot, 2-3 mins.
Serve the meatballs and noodles in your bowls with the coriander sprinkled on top. Cut the remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over. Enjoy!
