### Notes

   vermicelli noodles as a stir – fry, or use as a filling for spring rolls or dumplings.

Make use of your leftover chicken mince by transforming it to this meaty and veggie
treat. This recipe could also make use of either chicken or pork mince, also chicken
breast is a good option. Serve with noodles and you’re good to go!
