Instructions

  • Cook rice vermicelli according to package. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • In a large nonstick pan, cook ground sirloin over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  • Stir in noodles, carrots, cucumber, red pepper, onion and mint.
  • In a small bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce and sugar until sugar dissolves.

Notes

After the noodles have cooked, I recommend cutting them up into smaller pieces to make them easier to eat.
