Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Cut the vegetables into thin strips: grated carrots, cucumber, cabbage and spring onions. Season them with the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat and brown the minced meat or crumbled tofu for 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. Add the soy sauce and chilli, then stir for 1 minute until the mixture is well coated.
  4. Cut the bread in half lengthways without separating it completely.
  5. Fill each bun with the pickled vegetables, the meat or tofu, then a squeeze of lime and some coriander.
  6. Serve immediately, with hot sauce if you like.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the meat with firm tofu and soy sauce; the flavour stays very close.
