How to Make a Chicken Spring Roll Bowl
Cook the Chicken Mince
Season the chicken mince with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through.
Make the Dressing
Add the chopped mint, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, sriracha, rice wine vinegar and lime juice to a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
Prepare The Noodles and Vegetables
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to the packet instructions. While the noodles cook, wash and chop the cabbage, carrot, red onion and cucumber, then add them to a serving bowl.
Assemble The Bowl
Top the vegetables with the cooked vermicelli noodles and chicken mince. Pour over the dressing and finish with crushed peanuts and fresh red chilli.
Toss and Serve
Toss everything together until well combined and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Chicken Spring Roll Bowl
Don’t Overcook The Noodles
Cook the vermicelli according to the packet instructions so they stay light and tender rather than becoming mushy.
Add The Dressing Just Before Serving
This keeps the vegetables crisp while allowing the flavours to coat the noodles and chicken.
Adjust The Spice
Add more or less sriracha and fresh chilli depending on how spicy you like your bowl.
Add Extra Crunch
The crushed peanuts add texture and complement the fresh vegetables. Toast them lightly for an even nuttier flavour.
