Pan-Asia Meatballs with Chili Spaghetti
Combine the beef, ginger, garlic, coriander, spring onion, rice wine, pepper, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, chilli and egg yolks in a bowl. Mix well and shape into small meatballs. Heat a little vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan and fry the meatballs, for 6-8 minutes and in batches if required, until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions and when cooked remove from the heat and drain well.
