Time
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 6 min
- Ready in: 26 min
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean minced beef
- 2 tbsp Roasted rice* (coarsely ground)
- 1 small Red onion (finely sliced)
- 1 cup Mint leaves
- 1 cup Coriander leaves
- 1 long Red chilli (sliced)
- 2 Lime leaves (very finely shredded)
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 2 tsp Sugar
- Baby cos leaves, prawn crackers and lime wedges (to serve)
Instructions
- Place a large wok or frying pan over a high heat. Cook half of the beef in a small amount of vegetable oil in for 3 minutes or until lightly coloured, breaking it up as it cooks. Repeat with the remaining beef. Tip into a large mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
- Add the ground rice and remaining ingredients and stir well. Place onto a platter and serve with cos leaves and lime wedges.
Notes
- You can adjust the flavours (hot, sour, salty and sweet) to taste, by using more or less chilli, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar.
- For a more filling meal, try serving with steamed Jasmine rice.
*To roast rice, place in a dry frying pan over a moderately high heat. Stir until toasted and brown. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and beat until coarsely ground.
