Banh Mi-Style Turkey Meatball Bowls

with Pickled Veggie Salad, Chili Lime Mayo & Ginger Cauli Rice

Combining tender meat, crunchy pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, spicy chiles, and creamy spreads, the Vietnamese banh mi is one of our all-time favorite sandwiches. Here, we take all those same flavors and textures and channel them into some seriously delicious rice bowls. Turkey meatballs are infused with citrusy ponzu, then roasted until tender and tossed in a spicy sweet soy glaze. They’re piled over ginger rice with a pickled cucumber and carrot salad, creamy chili-lime mayo, and fresh cilantro. Prepare to be bowled over!

Instructions

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate ginger. Peel and mince garlic. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Finely chop cilantro. Zest and quarter lime (for 4 servings, zest one lime and quarter both).

Cook Rice
2

• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

After cooking ginger, add cauliflower rice (no need to drain) and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and any excess liquid has absorbed, 6-8 minutes. (Save jasmine rice for another use.)

Form & Cook Meatballs
3

• While rice cooks, in a large bowl, combine turkey*, panko, Kikkoman® Ponzu Sauce, garlic, remaining ginger, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form mixture into 10-12 meatballs (20-24 meatballs for 4). Place meatballs on a lightly oiled baking sheet. • Roast on top rack until browned and cooked through, 14-16 minutes.

Make Salad & Mix Mayo
4

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine cucumber, carrots, half the cilantro, and as much lime juice and lime zest as you like (save a bit of lime juice for the mayo). Season with salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, a squeeze of lime juice, and up to half the Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Thai Style Chili Sauce to taste (save the rest for the next step).

Make Sauce & Toss
5

• In a second large bowl, combine 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4 servings; be sure to measure–we sent more), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and remaining Chili Sauce to taste. • Once meatballs are done, carefully transfer to bowl with sauce; toss until meatballs are thoroughly coated and sauce is just warmed through.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls and top with meatballs, pickled veggie salad, and any remaining sauce. Drizzle with chili lime mayo. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Ground Turkey is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.
