Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 125 -250 g flat rice noodles, depending on servings
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil, any oil would suffice
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili pepper, chopped & possibly more if you like it as spicy as we do
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
• 300 g lamb mince
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, thinly sliced flat sticks
• 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 -2 cup low sodium chicken broth, i use homemade
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup broccoli
• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 eggs
• 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• 3 tablespoons cold water

Recipe

• 1 prepare the rice noodles as per packet instructions while cooking the rest of the dish.
• 2 gently saute onions, garlic, chilli, ginger and pepper until onions are soft but not brown.
• 3 add lamb mince & brown. note: if you stir raw mince into the onions then flatten against the bottom of your wok or pan with the back of your cooking utensil & then kind of flip to brown both sides (instead of stirring continuously) the meat will cook in "clumps" leaving better texture & we think flavour at the end.
• 4 add celery, carrots & cabbage. continue to brown for a further couple of minutes.
• 5 add stock, soy sauce, fish sauce & brown sugar. cook until veges are about half done. maybe 10mins or so.
• 6 meanwhile lightly beat eggs & pour into an oiled medium heated pan. slowly cook until just brown, flip & once cooked slice & set aside. prepare spring onions & combine with cooked egg.
• 7 add broccoli & red pepper to mince. cook for another few minutes.
• 8 mix the cornflour & water together. add to mince with the prepared rice noodles. i like to cook this all together for another few minutes to allow the noodles to heat through & soak up a bit of flavour. just be careful not to overcook the veges.
• 9 mix in the egg & spring onion just before serving.
