Cooking Instructions
- Season the pork with sea salt and black pepper, then shape into 20 meatballs. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, halve the corn lengthways. Cut the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Dissolve the cornflour in a jug with 250ml water.
- Add the corn and spring onions to the meatball pan. Cook for 2 mins, then add the honey and Asian paste. Cook for 1-2 mins, then pour in the cornflour mixture and tamari. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat another large frying pan with the sesame oil on medium-high heat. Add the sugar snaps and cashews, and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden.
- Add the garlic paste and rice to the cashew pan, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for another 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the radishes, then cut into short strips for garnish.
- Serve the fried rice with pork meatballs and sauce. Garnish with radishes.
