(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces wide rice noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
  • 6 teaspoons fish sauce, divided
  • 2 tablespoons sweet red chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 12-ounce bag broccoli slaw
  • Lime wedges for serving

Directions

  1. Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain, rinse well with cold water and let stand in the colander to drain.
  2. Meanwhile, combine pork, 1 tablespoon mint and 2 teaspoons fish sauce in a bowl. Form the mixture into eight 3-inch patties.

  3. Heat a large grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray, add the patties, partially cover and cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and cook for 3 minutes, then turn back over and cook on the first side again until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  4. Combine the remaining 4 teaspoons fish sauce, chili sauce, lime juice and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the rice noodles and broccoli slaw and gently toss until well combined. Serve the pork patties on the noodles, sprinkled with the remaining 1 tablespoon mint. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
