- a handful of salted peanuts, chopped, to sprinkle

Step by step
Get ahead
Make the dressing a few hours ahead and the patties 1 day ahead; chill. The raw patties freeze well.
- Preheat the grill to a high setting.
- Trim and slice the spring onions, cut the sugar snaps in half, and peel and slice the carrots into ribbons using a flat-bladed peeler or slice them into thin batons; set the vegetables aside.
- Tip the mince into a bowl, add the curry paste, chopped coriander and a pinch of salt. Mix together – use clean hands to do this. Form 8 patties, then put them into a large roasting tin or dish.
-
Tip Instead of putting these patties into buns, eat them with a zesty fresh noodle salad.
- Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, put the noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. After 3 minutes, drain well and run under cold water.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in the empty noodle bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the noodles, prepared vegetables and the coriander leaves; toss together.
- Transfer the cooked patties to a plate. Add the noodle mix to the tin, put the patties on top and put under the grill for a few minutes. Serve drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with chopped peanuts, with lime wedges on the side.
