Vietnamese Street Style Food


Vietnamese Style Street Food, is a great idea for friday or saturday night meals. Really simple ingredients are used but they truly bring out the wow factor in terms of flavour. Traditionally their lettuce wraps tend to be made with pork or beef mince, however the picture above I have used salmon kebabs, so I will share this recipe with you. Feel free to use any other  kebab. You could make chickpea and black bean kebabs (If you would like a recipe for these please inbox me).

Ingredients: - 

For the Salmon kebabs

1 Tin of Salmon 
1 Stalk of spring onion roughly chopped
1/2 bunch Coriander finely chopped
The Juice of half a lime
1 Tsp Garlic
1/2 Tsp Dark Soy 
1/2 Tsp light Soy
2 eggs
1/2 a red chilli deseed and slice

For the Slaw

1/2 Red Cabbage Julienne
1/2 Cucumber roughly chopped
1 Carrot Julienne
4 - 5 mint leaves roughly chopped
Coriander roughly chopped 
Juice of half a lime 

Romaine or Cos Lettuce leaves to form the base of the meal 

Mayo, chilli, sweet chilli or tomato sauce to drizzle at the end

Method: - 

For the Salmon Kebabs

Mix the all the ingredients together (becareful not to add too much soy sauce or lime juice as this will cause the salmon cakes to become soft and break, if this does happen add alittle flour to it) and form patties. Place a pan with coconut oil or olive oil onto a medium heat and place in patties to fry. Cook on either side for 5 mins until golden and crisp. 

For the Slaw

Mix ingredients together and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. 

To serve, place lettuce onto a plate, place as much slaw as you would like and break up the salmon kebabs on top of the slaw. Drizzle whichever sauce you prefer and eat...... (feel the pop of flavours in your mouth).  :)
