- 100g lean beef mince (5% fat)
- ½ teaspoon rapeseed oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 fresh lime
- 60g dried brown rice noodles
- 1 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
- 30g red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
To garnish:
- 10 unsalted peanuts, crushed or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh coriander (optional)
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan before adding the mince, garlic powder and ground coriander. Stir-fry for around 4-5 minutes until the mince is brown and cooked through. Add the juice of ½ a lime, stir gently and keep warm whilst you build your bowl.
Cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions, drain, keeping 2 tablespoons of the noodle cooking water. Remove from the heat, return the noodles to the cooking pan, and stir through the sweet chilli sauce and the reserved cooking water until well coated.
Build your bowl with the noodles, fresh vegetables (cabbage, carrots and spring onions) and the cooked mince. Toss gently.
Garnish with the peanuts, fresh coriander, if used and a squeeze of a fresh lime quarter.
