Here’s a quick mid-week meal I tried for the first time tonight…I had been planning a totally different pork mince dish, using rice noodles, but Woolies thwarted me by having their fridge break down, and I couldn’t get rice noodles. Grabbed some glass noodles/vermicelli noodles instead and decided to go for a cold salad.
It was really tasty! I just cooked the pork mince with some oil, a dash of fish sauce, and lots of soy. The idea for the sauce was borrowed from my friend Rachel, who had used the same thing for a dipping sauce. Unlike me, she has an instinct about mixing asian flavours. For the sauce there was the juice of 1 lime, half a teaspoon fine grated ginger, 4 tablespoons fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce to taste, a dash of peanut oil, chopped mint, and about a third of a bunch of coriander.
An easy, awesome salad.

Oooph! Delicious looking! We, on the other hand, ate Thai – IN the restaurant, while wearing sweaty gross gym clothes.
