Method

  1. Lightly squash the tomatoes with the fish sauce, lime juice and zest, and the chilli sauce. Cook the noodles following pack instructions.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the onion, carrot and pepper for 5 mins or until softening. Add the cabbage and cook for a few mins more. Remove the vegetables from the pan, add the lamb and cook for 5-8 mins so that it is still tender and juicy. Take the pan off the heat, toss in the noodles, vegetables, tomato dressing and mint, and serve.

  • Recipe Tip

    Go light on the fish sauce

    Fish sauce is very high in salt, so don't be tempted to add any more.

The taste of this recipe is fantastic but be warned - this takes AGES to make! It says it takes 25 minutes but if you look at the cooking times, those alone take almost 20 minutes so the 25 minutes doesn't take into account the time to cut carrots into batons or shred the cabbage etc ...

Had as part of the Good Food healthy eating plan. Really tasty and good sized portions. Would make this again whether or not I was aiming to eat healthily.

Really really delicious. Added broccoli and used soba noodles but otherwise as per recipe. The kids (nearly 2 and nearly 4) demolished it.

I don't have any fish sauce, if I proceed will it ruin the dish?
