How to Julienne Vegetables

Method

  • 1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 3 minutes. Add mince and cook until it just starts to brown.

  • 2. Add hoisin sauce, plum sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil and stir through. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.

  • 3. Remove from heat and mix through the vermicelli and coriander.

  • 4. Just before serving stir through half the carrot and cucumber using the remainder for garnish.

  • 5. Spoon mixture on to lettuce cups and serve on a large platter with lemon wedges.

  • TIP: When browning mince use a fork to ensure there are no lumps. Use a large frying pan to avoid over crowding. This pork mince is also delicious served on rice with a squeeze of lemon.
