Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of water to boil. Mince garlic. Finely chop chili pepper, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Trim and cut green beans into 1-inch pieces. Halve lime.

Form the meatballs: In a #medium bowl{}, mix together ground pork, scallion whites, thai seasoning blend, half the garlic, and salt and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and brown ~{1%minutes} per side. Add ¼ cup water to pan, cover with a #large lid{}, and steam ~{2%minutes} to cook through. Uncover and simmer on low until water evaporates. Remove meatballs from pan and set aside.

Cook the green beans: Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add green beans and toss until crisp-tender, ~{3%minutes}. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside. TIP: Add a few tablespoons water to speed up the process.

Add half the pack of yakisoba noodles (save the other half for next time) to water, stir ~{2%minutes} until tender, yet chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water. Add chili pepper and remaining garlic to pan. Cook until fragrant, about ~{30%seconds}. Add noodles and stir until broken up completely.

Combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and ¼ cup water in a #small bowl{}. Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add meatballs, green beans, and soy mixture to pan. Toss until thoroughly combined and sauce has thickened, ~{1%minutes}. Top with scallion greens and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
