Method
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for 10 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and five-spice powder, then fry for 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Put the meat in a bowl and add the cooled onion mixture. (If using pork mince, season well.) Mix with your hands, then shape into 16 small, evenly sized meatballs.
- Cook the rice according to the pack instructions, adding the spinach just before the end of the cooking time. Drain and set aside, then stir the spinach into the rice.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in the pan over a medium heat and fry the meatballs for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides and cooked through. Add the honey, soy sauce and a splash of water, then cook for 2 minutes until sticky. Serve the meatballs on the spinach rice with the juices spooned over.
