Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 fresh thai bird chilies, chopped (can sub 1 T ground chili paste or sub any other chilies)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced extremely fine
1/3 fish sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, preferably with pulp
1/4 cup water
4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup cucumber, julienned
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup fresh Thai basil, chopped
1/2 lb dried rice vermicelli, boiled 4 to 5 minutes rinsed and drained
1 lb top sirloin steak (thinly sliced across the grain about 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches long)
2 tablespoons lemongrass, minced
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
10 fresh cilantro stems

Steps:

  • For the Dipping Sauce: Place the garlic, chilies, chili paste, and ginger in a mortar and pound into a paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Transfer to a glass jar and cover with a tight lid. If refrigerated the sauce will keep up to 3 weeks.
  • Combine all salad ingredients and toss gently. Place about a cup of the salad mixture in individual pasta bowls. Top each with about two cups of the noodles. Set the prepared noodle bowls aside.
  • Combine the beef, lemon grass, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over high heat. Add the garlic ad onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Remove beef from marinade and stir-fry until just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide the beef topping among the prepared bowls and garnish each with peanuts and cilantro. Invite each guest to drizzle on 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dipping sauce. Have them toss the noodles several times with chopsticks to blend the ingredients.

I used gluten-free tamari sauce in the dipping sauce and gluten-free rice noodles, and it was delicious! This recipe is a great option for people with dietary restrictions.

I made this recipe with tofu instead of beef and it turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the marinade and the dipping sauce perfectly. I also added some extra vegetables to the noodles for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
