Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped cilantro, mint, green onions, minced garlic, red chili, soy sauce, fish sauce, panko breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter, and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce (for dressing), fish sauce (for dressing), honey, and sesame oil to make the noodle salad dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked noodles with julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Mix until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
