Who says leftover has to be boring? Here's a good example for you.
I was dying for a big bowl of noodles or carbs of any kind after another of my run. I was delighted to find the remaining thick mung bean noodles and some leftover beef mince from my carbless dinner the previous night...... well yes! the not so silly diet is still on and bunless burger was on the menu again.

I marinated the beef briefly and made a dressing using hoisin sauce and sichuan chili oil (both are staples at the tummies') as a base. The cucumber strips add freshness and the crunch element to that of the chewiness of the noodles and the partly crisped up tender mince, making this a texture haven in a bowl.

ReplyDeleteA lovely dish indeed. I am still searching for the thick mung bean noodles without much luck.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I haven't been able to find the noodles too., do u think normal mung bean noodles will work?
