- 100g dried vermicelli noodles
- ½ cucumber , halved and sliced
- 200g cherry tomatoes , halved
- small handful of mint leaves , finely chopped
- 1 carrot , finely shredded or grated
- 200g-300g leftover beef (see recipe below), finely chopped

- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 lime , juiced
- 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil

Method
Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and rinse to prevent them sticking.
