Thai sesame meatball noodle salad – quick and easy to make salad that’s perfect for special occasions, lunch, or dinner.

Thai sesame meatball noodle salad
When we first started meeting at people’s houses for Mother’s group, we would all bring food. There was always way too much.
Then we decided to alternate between boy mums and girl mums each week.
It worked well although some weeks we’d end up with all sweets for lunch (left on a sugar high that day!).
As people started returning to work and our weekly catchup numbers dwindled we kind of fell into everyone just bringing something random again.

Some weeks I’d take a salad, some a cake, it totally depended on my mood (and energy levels).
Somehow we seemed to balance each other out.
Never so much as when I brought an Asian-like salad and another mum brought these delicious Thai sesame meatballs.
It was a match made in heaven and even my meatball-hating son ate one.
I stashed the recipe away and then forgot about it (mostly because I never have pork mince on hand).
A few weeks later we were entertaining and I remembered them.
They took no time at all to whip up but instead of cooking them in a pan I baked them in the oven.

I don’t know what it is about me and meatballs but whenever I try to cook them on the stove I always end up with something burnt on the outside and barely cooked through.
You just have to be super careful not to dry them out in the oven.
Keep an eye on them to make sure they come out just at the right time.
They make perfect party food served with a sweet chili dipping sauce.
I also think they make a great meal served as the meat in a stir-fry noodle dish like this.
I just tossed some noodles, cooked veges and soy and sesame oil together and voila.
Enjoy!

Love this post Claire! I must put these on the weekly menu again!!
Yes me too Gemma! Thanks for the recipe!
When I saw them I thought they’d be perfect with a bamboo pick in them with some dipping sauce. I love adding them to the noodle salad too. Yummo.
Oh yes Maureen the fancy ones with the twisty ends!
They look really yummy with all those asian flavours… Oh and I love the bowl… I think I saw them at Wheel and Barrow the other day and I nearly bought one… but decided on another cake plate instead! LOL Liz xx
Good spotting Liz yes it is from Wheel and Barrow from my sis for Christmas. I love it! x
This looks so delicious!
