Make this recipe your own by mixing up the mince. It will be just as delicious with chicken or turkey mince. Use whatever stir-fry vegetables you have in your fridge. Mung bean sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, beans and snow peas would all work.

Also feel free to use your favourite noodles, whether they be rice noodles or fresh egg noodles.
