Method
step 1
Pour boiling water over the noodles and let sit for 5 mins. Rinse under cold water and thoroughly drain before placing in serving bowl. Add the carrots, onion and half the herbs.
step 2
Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing the lime juice, sugar and fish sauce, along with half the chillies.
step 3
Heat a non-stick frying pan or wok until extremely hot, then add a drizzle of oil. Cook the mince until it browns, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon and making sure it is cooked through. Tip over the noodle mixture, then toss over the dressing, giving everything a good mix. Serve in bowls, with the remaining herbs and chilli slices scattered on top.
