Saucy Meatball Sandwich

15 min

4 servings

This Bánh mì-inspired meatball sub is the perfect blend of sweet, savoury, and subtly spicy! Our broth mixes contain nutritional yeast, a source of Vitamin B12, to help keep your body’s nerves and cells happy and healthy and add a toasty flavour to the meatballs.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground pork or chicken
  • 1 tbsp Nourish Broth Mix or Vegetable Broth Mix
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp each: mustard and honey
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1⁄2 English cucumber
  • 4 medium-sized panini buns or chopped baguette
  • 1 cup carrot matchsticks

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, using a fork, combine ground pork, broth mix, and water. Form into 16 meatballs (about a scant 2 tbsp each).
  2. Arrange in a single layer in Round Steamer (it’s OK if they touch). Cover and microwave on high, for 4 min or until cooked. Uncover; let sit about 1 min.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, and hot sauce. Slice cucumber. Cut buns open.
  4. When meatballs are cooked, carefully drain off liquid from bottom of steamer. Pour sauce over meatballs (in steamer); gently stir to coat.
  5. Fill each bun with four meatballs. Top with cucumber and carrots; spoon any remaining sauce in steamer on top.
