    1 In a large bowl, cover vermicelli with boiling water. Soak for 10 minutes, until cooked. Drain and set aside.

    3 Heat 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a large frypan. Add beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 10 minutes until browned. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, 2 tbs of rice wine vinegar, mirin and garlic. Stir mixture into mince. Add spring onions and cook for a further 2 minutes.

    4 Serve mince in lettuce cups with vermicelli, cucumber, carrot and pickled radish. Sprinkle over sesame seeds to garnish.
