Instructions

- Add the curry paste, granulated stevia, light soy, pinch of salt and lime juice. Stir for a minute to mix it all in and then remove from heat
- Cooking the beans: While the meatballs and curry sauce is cooking, add the beans to the saucepan of boiling water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes and remove from the heat
- Putting it together: add the rice, meatballs, and pour over the curry sauce. Add the beans, slice of lime, dried shallots and fresh spring onions.
