Ingredients

Vegetables

  • ½ capsicum
  • ½ telegraph cucumber

Noodles

  • 200g vermicelli noodles
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm, rinsed and thinly sliced

Vietnamese Lamb Mince

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 450g lamb mince
  • ½ capsicum, core and seeds removed and finely diced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Asian BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
  • 1 spring onion, white and green part, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons water

Asian Dressing

  • 2½ tablespoons Asian BBQ sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mild sweet chilli sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon rice wine vinegar

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Prepare vegetables. Remove core and seeds from first measure of capsicum and thinly slice. Cut cucumber in half lengthways, remove seeds with a teaspoon then cut into thin matchsticks; Set aside.
  2. In a large, heat-proof bowl, pour boiling water over noodles and use a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes then drain and return to bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil to prevent noodles sticking and cut in a few places to make them easier to eat. Add bok choy and toss to combine.
  3. While noodles cook, heat oil in a large fry-pan or wok on medium-high heat. Cook lamb mince for about 3 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until starting to brown.
  4. Add second measure of capsicum and carrot to pan/wok. Cook, stirring often, for 3–4 minutes, until vegetables are tender and mince is cooked. Add all remaining Vietnamese lamb mince ingredients and cook a further 1 minute, until combined and heated through.
  5. In a small bowl, mix all Asian dressing ingredients together, until combined.
  6. To serve, divide noodles between bowls and top with Vietnamese lamb mince and vegetables. Drizzle over Asian dressing.
