Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Preheat the grill to medium-high

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Step 1
2

Slice your lemongrass in half lengthways

Soak the sliced lemongrass in cold water – these are your lemongrass skewers

Step 2
3

Peel and finely chop your shallot[s]

Slice half your red chilli[es] into rounds and finely chop the remaining

Wash, then remove the leaves from your lettuce (2 per person!) and set aside

Shred the inner core[s]

Step 3
4

Combine your mince (remove the paper from the mince if required!), diced chilli, chopped shallot, half of your gluten free soy sauce and half of your fish sauce (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl and mix everything together

Step 4
5

Divide the mince mixture into 2 per person and press it onto each lemongrass skewer to form a long sausage shape

Add the lemongrass skewers to a baking tray (or two!) (use tin foil to avoid mess!)

Place the tin foil-lined tray[s] under the grill for 10-15 min, turning once halfway, or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 5
6

Combine your peanut butter, ginger & garlic paste, remaining gluten free soy sauce and remaining fish sauce – this is your peanut dipping sauce

Step 6
7

Add your carrot & cabbage slaw mix to a bowl with your rice vinegar and the shredded lettuce

Season with a pinch of sugar, mix it all together and set aside – this is your carrot & cabbage salad

Step 7
8

Serve the Hue lemongrass skewers with the peanut dipping sauce, carrot & cabbage salad, lettuce leaves and cooked rice to the side

Tip: For fancy presentation, press the rice into a small bowl and turn out

Garnish with the chilli rounds and toasted sesame seeds

Enjoy!
