Sweet Sticky Chilli Mince With Rice

Sweet sticky chilli mince with rice. A heat of chilli, a hit of ginger and a zing of lime! You have magic in a pan. It sings vietnamese, indo asian inspired but whichever, it sings loud!

A big favourite in our home. Lots of green and red goodness from the fresh vegetables and mince of your choice. I used lean pork today.

This is really delicious, fragrant and bursting with flavour. Adjust heat to your palate but please give this ago! You will not be disapointed!
