Asian Mini Meatballs with Vermicelli Protein Noodles


Ingredients
  

Asian Mini Meatballs:

  • 1 pound ground pork or ground beef (NOTE: this meal can be PROTEIN SPARING if you use extra lean meat)
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese 5 spice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon Redboat fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Tallow or Lard (for searing)

Vermicelli Noodles:

  • 4 packages Miracle Noodles Eggwhite Noodles vermicelli shaped
  • 3 tablespoons tamari sauce
  • 2 tablespoons beef broth (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite (or 2 tablespoons Brown Allulose)
  • 1 teaspoon Redboat fish sauce`

Garnish:

  • scallions Thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • To make the meatballs, place all of the ingredients except the tallow/lard into a large bowl. Use your hands to combine well. Form into 1 inch balls (I used a small ice cream scooper to make the evenly sized).
  • Heat the tallow in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, place the meatballs into the skillet and cook on all sides until cooked through (this will take about 15 minutes which you can make the vermicelli part of the dish during this time while turning the meatballs every 5 minutes).
  • To make the vermicelli protein noodles, drain the vermicelli Miracle Noodles and place into another skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the tamari sauce, beef broth (or water), lime juice, stevia glycerite and fish sauce. Stir together well and taste. Adjust sweetness and flavor to your liking. Once the noodles are hot, remove from skillet and place onto a serving platter. Top with the cooked meatballs and garnish with thinly sliced scallions and cilantro leaves. Enjoy!
