Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for ginger sesame meatballs with rice and greens | Quick and easy

A simple, warmingly spiced supper, irrespective of whatever mince you choose to use

I

make variations of these meatballs every fortnight for my children, usually with chicken mince. The texture is fantastic and, whisper it, they’re even better made in an air fryer. Yes, I finally got one and it’s fantastic. You do, however, have to cook them all in one layer, which, depending on the size of your air-fryer basket, might mean cooking them in multiple batches. It feels more efficient to make them all in one go, though, so I’ve provided oven timings below.

Use your favourite and the best-quality mince you can get – it makes a big difference to the flavour and feels like a real treat.
