Cooking instructions

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

1.

Preheat the grill to medium-high

Slice your lemongrass in half lengthways

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

Step 1
2.

Peel and finely chop your shallot[s]

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

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

Step 2
3.

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 3
4.

Combine your mince (remove the paper from the mince if required!), diced chilli, chopped shallot and half of your gluten free soy sauce (you'll use the rest later!) and half of your fish sauce 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 (use tin foil to avoid mess!)

Place the tin foil-lined tray under the grill for 10-15 min 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 cabbage & carrot 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 cabbage & carrot salad

Step 7
8.

Serve the Hue lemongrass skewers with the peanut dipping sauce, cabbage & carrot salad and cooked cauliflower 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!
