Preheat your oven to 200°C and grease a shallow roasting tray.
Place the tamarind pulp and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Leave to cool, then pass through a sieve. Measure 2 tablespoons tamarind paste and place the rest in an airtight container in the fridge for another use. The puree will keep for at least 1 week.
Place the oil, honey, lime juice, soy sauce and tamarind paste in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil then simmer for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Pork
Place the pork mince, shallot, garlic, lemongrass, coriander, chilli, breadcrumbs and fish sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and mix well to combine.
Using wet hands, roll mixture into 20 meatballs, placing on the roasting tray as you roll. Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and pour over the tamarind glaze, shaking the tray to coat the meatballs evenly. Return to the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Serve meatballs with noodles and steamed baby bok choy. Finish with fried ginger, lime zest, and coriander.
