Several years ago, in a shopping complex in Melbourne, I tried a Vietnamese dish called ‘Rice Vermicelli with Beef and Coleslaw’. Because I loved it so much, I recreated my own version and I often make it as my children love this dish.

Steps

1

Make Coleslaw first. Thinly slice Cabbage. Peel and slice Carrot into 2 to 3mm thin strips. I usually use a slicer. If you cut by knife, slice them diagonally 2 to 3mm thin, then cut into 2 to 3mm strips.
2

Mix Vinegar, Sugar and Salt, add vegetables and mix well. Set aside to let it well seasoned.
3

Cook Beef. First make the sauce by mixing Garlic, Sugar, Mirin, Soy Sauce, Sesame Seeds and Toban Djan in a small bowl.
4

Heat Oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat and cook Beef. Add the sauce and cook until the sauce thickens.
5

Cook Rice Vermicelli as instructed and chill in cold water, then drain well.
6

Place well drained cold Rice Vermicelli on a plate, arrange well seasoned Coleslaw and Beef on top, sprinkle some chopped Spring Onion, Toasted Sesame Seeds and/or Fried Shallots over and enjoy.
