The kind of Vietnamese plate you make on repeat. fish sauce and lime, a proper slow-cook, and a finish of fresh herbs.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the fish sauce and lime elements, and pat the lamb dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the lamb. Cover and cook low and slow, stirring now and then, until rich and spoonable.
Stir in the rice noodles and the rest of the fish sauce and lime flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
