Ingredients

Lemongrass Beef

  • 300g beef mince
  • 25g lemongrass paste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm and thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce

Vermicelli Noodles

  • 100g vermicelli noodles
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame oil

Lime Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • Zest and juice of ½ lime

To Serve

  • ½ capsicum, core and seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber, cut into sticks, about 1 x 4cm

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook mince for 4-5 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until browned.
  2. Add lemongrass paste, salt and onion, and cook a further 2-3 minutes, until onion has softened.
  3. Add stock, soy sauce, bok choy and fish sauce. Cook for about 1 minute, until bok choy has wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. While mince is cooking, place noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water, using a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes then drain. Toss with sesame oil and cut in a few places to make them easier to eat.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together all lime dressing ingredients.
  6. To serve, divide vermicelli noodles between bowls and top with lemongrass beef, capsicum and cucumber. Drizzle with lime dressing.
