Make the meatballs

Let’s cook

Cook the meatballs in the air fryer at 180C for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together the noodles with the sesame oil, soy sauce, red onion and pepper. If the noodles you have need to be cooked first, cook them according to the packet instructions.
After the meatballs have been cooking for 10 minutes, layer the noodles and veg under the meatballs. Brush the meatballs with the rest of the chilli jam and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
