- Cook the rice to pack instructions. Meanwhile, beat the mince, chopped chilli, lime zest and half the ginger, garlic and coriander with a wooden spoon in a bowl until the mince has broken down into a smooth, uniform paste. Shape into 12 meatballs (about 40g each).
- Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat and fry the meatballs for 10 mins, turning frequently, until golden. Add the remaining ginger and garlic to the pan, cook for 1 min, then pour in the green curry sauce, 100ml water, the spinach, peas and red pepper. Cover and simmer for 3-5 mins until the meatballs are cooked through and the spinach has wilted.
- Serve with the rice and top with the sliced chilli, remaining coriander and the lime wedges.
