Ingredients

Thai Dressing

  • 1-2 tablespoons coriander leaves and stalks
  • 1-2 tablespoons mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Thai Beef

  • 300g beef mince
  • ½ brown onion
  • 2 teaspoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Vermicelli

  • 100g vermicelli noodles

To Serve

  • ½ capsicum
  • 1 baby bok choy
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Roughly chop coriander and mint. Add to a small bowl, along with all other Thai dressing ingredients and mix to combine.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook mince for about 5 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until browned. Thinly slice onion.
  3. Add onion, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce to pan and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  4. While mince cooks, place noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands, leave for 5 minutes then drain. Use kitchen scissors to cut noodles in a few places to make them easier to eat.
  5. Thinly slice capsicum; trim end 1cm off bok choy; cut cucumber in half lengthways and thinly slice. Place all in a bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of the Thai dressing. Season to taste.
  6. To serve, divide vermicelli between bowls, top with Thai beef and veggies and drizzle with remaining Thai dressing.
