Method
1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 3 minutes. Add mince and cook until it just starts to brown.
2. Add hoisin sauce, plum sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil and stir through. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and mix through the vermicelli and coriander.
4. Just before serving stir through half the carrot and cucumber using the remainder for garnish.
