Ingredients
  • Stir-Fry Sauce
  • 2 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Dipping Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons mirin
  • Beef
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced diagonally, against the grain
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil, divided
  • 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • For Serving
  • 1 - 7 ounce package of rice vermicelli noodles
  • 5 ounces mixed baby greens
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro
  • 2 scallions, green parts thinly sliced
  • dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add the stir-fry ingredients - ginger, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  2. In another small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce. For a lighter tasting sauce, you can add 1-2 Tbs of water, if you like. Set aside until ready to use.
  3. Soak the dry vermicelli noodles in a large bowl of hot water. Allow to soak for several minutes, giving the noodles a stir every so often to loosen them up. Taste a few strands to make sure they're done, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced beef, canola oil, and cornstarch. Mix well with your hands, making sure to evenly coat each slice.
  5. Heat a large, dry skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Just when the pan begins to smoke, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and once shimmering, add the beef (if you're using a flat-bottomed skillet, use 2 tablespoons of oil, or enough to thinly coat the bottom). Cook one side of the beef for 30 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Then add the stir-fry sauce. Toss and stir for 1 - 2 minutes, until cooked. (If you're doing this in a small skillet, I suggest stir-frying in two batches).
  6. Divide the mixed greens and cilantro among your serving bowls. Top with vermicelli noodles and the stir-fried beef. Garnish with the chopped peanuts and scallions. Serve with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
