Notes

1. Light soy provides salt whereas the dark soy mainly adds colour, plus some flavour. You can use just light soy sauce (but your meat won't be as brown like you see in the photos). You could also use just all purpose soy sauce (i.e. label does not say "light", "dark" or "sweet" soy sauce). Don't use just dark soy sauce - the flavour will be too strong.

2. Use any chillis you want - and adjust amount to your taste. 3 birds eye red chillis which is what I use makes this mildly spicy, use 4 for quite spicy. 3 Thai chillies would be spicier.

If you don't have fresh chilli, you can either use dried red chilli flakes (1 1/2 tsp - add with garlic) or you can add chilli sauce or chilli paste into the sauce (i.e. the paste minced chilli sold in jars). I would use 2 1/2 tsp chilli paste or 1 tbsp Sriracha Sauce.

3. I know it's weird for a recipe to make 3 servings, but mince is sold in 500g/1lb packets here in Australia. So I always make this using that quantity of meat. Leftovers are fabulous!

4. To use this for bite size pieces of meat (500g / 1 lb), increase the Sauce by 50%, or reduce the meat to about 350g / 12 oz. Sauce spreads better throughout minced meat, so you don't need as much. For noodles, this amount of Sauce is enough for 2 servings - use 150g/5oz of dried rice noodles or 200g / 7 oz fresh noodles, plus meat and veg of choice.

5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 3 servings. The sodium can be reduced by using low sodium soy sauce.
