I'm always trying to find new ways with beef mince because it's inexpensive, versatile and perfect for a midweek fix. Here I'm using Thai flavours and keeping it simple by using sweet chilli sauce. The ingredients that I have added at the end are all there to add to the Thai flavour but don't worry if you don't have them available, it still tastes amazing.
