I have your dinner tonight sorted! This meal is a regular in our house so I thought I would share as it is quick, easy and the kids love it!
Thai Chicken Mince
What you need …
Olive oil spray
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
500g lean chicken mince
1 bunch coriander
1 tbspn crushed ginger
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
2 tbspns fish sauce
2 tbspns lime juice
What you do …
Spray non stick pan with olive oil. Over a medium heat, cook onion until soft.
Add mince and ginger. Cook for about 10 minutes or until browned, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon.
While mince is cooking cut 5cm from roots of coriander. Wash and finely chop. Remove coriander leaves and set aside. Add chopped coriander to mince with sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and lime juice. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 mins or until heated through.
A couple of options for serving up …
In mushroom cups
With Asian greens and some rice
San Choy Bow style in lettuce cups ( my kids would not touch this, but I like it! )
A favourite variation at our house …
I add Chinese cabbage and grated carrot to the mince mixture and we make up rice paper rolls with finely sliced capsicum and snow peas.
Of course, it’s important to serve with your choice of dipping sauce .. I use this …
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
I hope that you enjoy as much as my family does!
Oh, did I mention that the basic recipe without rice etc, is about 300 cals per serve. Not bad!
If you try it let me know. I would love to hear your variations!
