Method

1.Soak noodles in boiling water in a heatproof bowl for 5 minutes; stir to separate strands. Drain; return to bowl. Add cucumber and lettuce; toss to combine.

2.Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over high heat. Add mince; cook, stirring to break up lumps, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add carrot, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, sauce, half the onion and 1/2 cup water; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to moderate; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until sauce reduces and carrot softens.

3.Divide noodle mixture among serving bowls. Top with mince mixture. Serve sprinkled with remaining onion.

You can make your own san choy bow sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons soy sauce with 2 tablespoons oyster sauce. You can use beef or chicken mince instead of pork mince. Make ahead: Cook mince mixture a day ahead. Cover, then refrigerate.
