SHORTCUT NOODLE-BOWL LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Slice the cucumber rounds into matchsticks. If the bell pepper strips are very wide, slice them thinly, too. Add all the vegetables, lettuce, scallions, cilantro and tofu or egg if using to a large serving bowl, or arrange on a large platter.
• Add the ramen to the boiling water and cook, stirring once or twice to separate, until al dente, about 90 seconds. Strain, transfer to a small bowl, toss with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and add to the bowl or platter with the vegetables.
• Toss the pork with the hoisin sauce in a medium bowl, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add half the pork and stir-fry until the hoisin sauce chars a bit, about 45 seconds. Transfer the pork to the platter with the vegetables, spreading the slices out a bit so they don't steam. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of oil and pork.
• To serve, have everyone fill their lettuce leaves with noodles, pork and vegetables, sprinkle with the peanuts and top with a splash of dressing.

SHORTCUT BUN BO HUE (VIETNAMESE BEEF AND PORK NOODLE SOUP)

Steps:

• Cut the tops off the lemongrass stalks, about 6 inches from the base. Bruise the tops with something heavy, like a meat mallet, and reserve for the broth. Peel off 2 or 3 of the woody outer layers from the base stalks until you reach the smoother, more tender core. Roughly chop the stalks and put in a food processor along with the garlic and shallots. Pulse about 20 times until everything is finely chopped, but not a paste.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the chopped lemongrass mixture and cook until soft and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and stir for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 4 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly, a spoon dragged across the pan leaves a trail and the oil is starting to separate from the solids. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the lemongrass mixture from the pan and reserve.
• Add the beef broth, 4 cups of water, and the bruised lemongrass tops to the saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until it tastes like lemongrass, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the vermicelli noodles. Cook, stirring periodically, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain very well and divide among 4 large soup bowls.
• Add the remaining tablespoon fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the beef broth. Remove the lemongrass tops. Add the steak slices and gently simmer until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
• Top each bowl with slices of cooked beef, the white onion and cilantro. Pour hot broth into the bowls to completely cover the noodles.
• Serve with the reserved lemongrass-chile mixture and suggested garnishes on the side.
