Ingredients

250g rice vermicelli
300g beansprouts

¼ cup (60ml) fish sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup (45g) roasted peanuts, chopped

Cover vermicelli with hot water. Stand for 10 minutes, until soft. Drain, rinse under cold water then drain again. Mix in beansprouts and three-quarters of basil or mint.

Meanwhile, combine mince, fish sauce and sugar. Season to taste. Using wet
hands, roll mixture into small balls. Thread onto bamboo skewers.
