Ingredients

BROWN RICE

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 2½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons Vietnamese paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

VIETNAMESE TURKEY RISSOLES

  • 600g turkey mince
  • 2 tablespoons Vietnamese paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce

VEGETABLES

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • ¼ cup water

TO SERVE

  • 100g mung bean sprouts

Steps

  1. Combine all brown rice ingredients together in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Place all Vietnamese turkey rissole ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. Using clean hands, shape into golf ball-sized balls and set aside on a plate.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook rissoles for 8-10 minutes, turning to brown each side, until golden and cooked through. Set aside, covered to keep warm.
  4. While rissoles cook, thinly slice red onion; cut broccoli into small florets and roughly chop stalk; cut carrots in half lengthways and slice thinly on an angle.
  5. Wipe pan clean and return to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Stir-fry onion for about 2 minutes, until softened. Add broccoli, carrot, soy sauce, fish sauce, sweet chill sauce and water. Cook a further 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  6. place ¾ cup cooked brown rice into each bowl and top with vegetables and Vietnamese turkey rissoles. Garnish with a handful of mung bean sprouts.
