Notes

Use a microwave cooker for your coconut rice, it is quick and easy and tastes great!
You can buy the meatballs and freeze them, then take them out to cook (after defrosting in the fridge for a few hours).
I would not recommend freezing the dish again if you used frozen meatballs
I have not been sponsered to do this post and I normally don't recommend products in the sense that I haven't, however, TRUST ME and get them, they are so good!
The rice will cook perfectly during the 14 min time frame allowed, if you remove the container from the microwave straightaway you will still see some liquid - stir to combine this, don't reheat it. If you leave it for a bit longer in the microwave or on the bench, this will automatically be absorbed. But don't cook for longer as it will then be overcooked and the rice will be dry!
Ingredients in the meatballs are: Chicken (81%), Asian Style Seasoning (10%) (Breadcrumbs (Wheat Flour, Sugar, Salt, Yeast, Canola oil), Vegetables (Bell Peppers, Garlic, Onion), Herbs and Spices (Chilli (4%), Coriander, Lemongrass (0.7%), Kaffir Lime (0.6%), Turmeric, Cumin), Salt, Fish Sauce powder (Sardines), Preservative (223)), Lime Juice (5%) (contains preservative (Potassium Sorbate)), Vermicelli Noodles (Rice, Water).
