Notes

1. Jicama is a Vietnamese vegetable (see in post for photo) with a texture like radish. Same juiciness as well, but it’s got literally no flavour! It’s mainly for a bit of texture and to fill out the meatball a bit.

Apple, nashi pears, white radish/daikon or anything with a similar texture and fairly neutral flavour will be a near perfect sub.
