I’m a huge fan of Thai food with all their tasty spices. This mince goes beautifully with vermicelli – it would even go really nicely within a Thai Salad.

Cooking as I type - smells DIVINE!!!! We are having it in lettuce as we are a low carb GF household..... Cannot wait to taste!
Caroline says
OMG!!!!!!! There is only one problem with this - the family are now arguing over who gets to lick the bowl!!!!! Served on a bed of delicious shredded lettuce as it was too tight for me to get cups from but will be a definite regular on the menu plan!!
Leisa says
Ooh... Hubby has added a curve ball... Next time have on lettuce leaves to make a thai style San chow bow!!!!!!! :-D
thermofun says
oh Leisa that's too funny as would you believe a couple of nights ago we had San chow bow for dinner, and my son mentioned this chicken mince recipe saying I should've made that to go in the lettuce!! :)
Leisa says
Made tonight... Had no lemongrass but it wasn't an issue! Also, no thai seasoning... So I made my own.
Next time I might add som thin red capsicum, carrot in thin ribbons and some green veg too in that last 5 mins :-)
This meal was loved here... Thanks :-)
