Thai Meatballs on Noodles with Cucumber Strips and Sesame Oil

Cook the pasta firm to the bite as usual. Halve the cucumber lengthways and core. Cut the pulp into fine strips. Clean, wash, cut lengthways, core and finely chop the chilli pepper. Halve the lime, squeeze out the juice.

Drain the pasta, rinse, drain, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Stew 1 chopped chilli pepper and cucumber strips for about 1 minute, place in a bowl with the noodles. Add sesame oil, sugar and lime juice, mix, season with salt and pepper and let marinate. The coriander and mint leaves, except for something to garnish, pluck from the stalks and roughly chop. Fold the coriander into the pasta salad except for about 1 tbsp and mint.

Cut the onion into fine cubes. Knead the mince, onion, the rest of the coriander, breadcrumbs, egg and finely chopped chilli pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Now shape 10-12 balls and fry in oil. Serve the pasta with meatballs and garnish with coriander and mint.
