For the meatballs:

200 g Woolworths duck sausages, removed from casings
10 g coriander, chopped
1 x 3 cm piece ginger, grated
1 green chilli, chopped
salt, to taste
200 g Woolworths pad Thai noodles
2 T soya sauce
2 T honey
100 g roasted cashews, chopped, for serving
80 g mangetout, sliced, for serving
10 g coriander, for serving
2 plums, thinly sliced, for serving

For the spring onion pesto, blend:

75 g spring onions
1 lemon, juiced
10 g coriander
1 clove garlic, chopped
salt, to taste
¼ cup olive oil
cold water, to loosen

For the sauce, mix:

4 T home-made plum sauce
1 T soya sauce
1 T rice wine vinegar
1 T honey
1 cloves garlic

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place all the meatball ingredients into a large bowl and mix. Shape into balls, then place on a greased baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

2. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Heat a frying pan and add the soya sauce and honey and cook until slightly reduced. Toss through the meatballs until glossy and warmed through.

3. To serve, place the noodles on a large platter and top with the meatballs, pesto and sauce. Scatter over the cashews, mangetout, coriander and plums.

Cook's note: Feel free to change up the meatballs; try a mix of beef and pork or even lamb.
