Venison is a really versatile, lean and quick-cooking meat which you can take in lots of directions, flavour-wise. In this recipe, I’ve added some aromatic Chinese flavours and lots of veges to venison mince, to make a quick and delicious dinner.
Method
1 Combine sauce ingredients in a jug. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
2 Cook rice noodles following packet directions. Rinse under cold water and toss with half the sesame oil. Set aside.
3 Heat remaining sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add garlic and spring onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add venison and stir-fry (in batches if your pan is not big enough) for about 5 minutes until browned. Add all vegetables except spinach and stir-fry 2 more minutes.
4 Add sauce and baby spinach to pan and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and stir well to combine.
