PICKLING TIME
Pick the leaves from the rinsed basil. Discard the stems and roughly tear the leaves. In a bowl, place the red wine vinegar, 15ml of water and 10ml of a sweetener of choice. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add in the sliced onion, some seasoning and set aside to pickle.
OODLES OF NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir, cover with a plate, and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked and glassy. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
GET COOKIN’
Place a pan or wok over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow for the meat to caramelise for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated ginger and garlic, and fry until fragrant.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Add the cooked noodles, the Thai dressing, ½ the torn basil leaves, a splash of the pickling liquid and the shredded cabbage and carrot to the pan with the mince. Mix for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and warmed through. Season to taste.
WOW!
Plate up a generous helping of the Thai noodles. Top with the pickled onion (to taste), remaining basil, the chopped coriander, and sprinkle over the peanuts. Simple, stunning and scrumptious!
