Asian Meatballs With Rice Noodles image

Submitted for RSC #9. This whole recipe was a new experience for me...I was so happy it worked out! I made it as a last effort for the contest after 2 failed recipes. I knew what fresh Asian flavors I liked together so that is what inspired the meatballs. I was impressed with how flavorful they turned out! They did end up a little hot so feel free to cut down on the peppers. I loved the rice noodles so much that they will be come a regular quick meal in my home. I love the suggestions from reviewers to bake the meatballs. Why didn't I think of that? I do think the sesame oil is a very important flavor enhancer for the noodles. Thanks to everyone who tried this for the contest!

Time 45m

Yield 16 meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 white onion, minced (about 1/2 cup-3/4 cup)
1 egg
3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons flour
1 (6 ounce) package vermicelli rice noodles, rinsed in cold water (also called rice stix)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 fresh carrots, peeled and then peeled into strips
1 bunch green onion, cut into 1 inch sticks
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
soy sauce, to serve
chili oil, to serve
lime wedge, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine meatball ingredients in a large bowl, mix well. Form 1-1 1/2" meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in a large 12" skillet in a single layer. Cook over medium high heat until browned all over and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside. Drain grease.
  • Rinse rice noodles in cold water until they go slightly soft. Set aside.
  • Cut green onions into 1 inch strips. Peel carrots and then use your peeler to peel down the rest of the carrots to make long thin strips. Chop Cilantro.
  • Heat sesame oil in the meatball skillet over medium high heat. Add vegetables and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the carrots go limp.
  • Add beef broth and rice noodles, bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring the noodles until the broth is all absorbed and the noodles are soft.
  • Push the noodles to the center of the pan and place the meatballs around the edges. Heat for another 3 minutes until the meatballs are hot.
  • Serve with soy sauce, chili oil and fresh lime wedges if desired.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was good. I think I'll try adding some more bread crumbs to the meatballs next time.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
