Vietnamese Beef with Rice Noodles – Serves 4

Perfect for Winter Evenings

This noodle recipe is a good one! All my family love this for dinner. Its also nice served cold with some crisp lettuce leaves. Adapt it for vegetarians by replacing the beef mince with a good vegetarian alternative and omitting the fish sauce. This is a perfect recipe for a healthy midweek dinner!
