VIETNAMESE LEMONGRASS BEEF AND NOODLE SALAD

Vietnamese Lemongrass Beef and Noodle Salad image

Bun bo xao, a zesty stir-fry of marinated beef hot from the wok paired with room temperature rice noodles, makes a satisfying main-course salad year-round. Dressed with a classic Vietnamese dipping sauce and topped with roasted peanuts, the flavors are clean, bright and restorative. Yes, this recipe calls for a lot of ingredients, but the prep is simple, and it's an easy introduction to Vietnam cooking for the uninitiated.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons Demerara or granulated light brown sugar
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 tablespoons lime juice, from 2 large limes
4 tablespoons best quality fish sauce, such as Red Boat
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1-inch length ginger, peeled and minced
1 medium-hot red chile, such as Fresno, chopped
1 hot red or green bird chile, thinly sliced
12 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 pound beef skirt steak or sirloin, in thin 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons best quality fish sauce, such as Red Boat
1 tablespoon Demerara or granulated light brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons finely chopped lemon grass, tender centers only
1 head lettuce, such as butter lettuce or Little Gems, tender center leaves separated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 scallions, slivered
1 medium carrot, cut in 3-inch lengths, julienned (about 1 cup)
1 small cucumber, 3-inch lengths, julienned (about 1 cup)
1 3-inch length daikon radish, julienned (about 1 cup)
Mixture of cilantro sprigs, mint leaves, basil leaves and small perilla (shiso) leaves, about 3 cups
4 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts
4 tablespoons fried shallots, available in Asian groceries (or make your own using this recipe)
Small handful bean sprouts or sunflower sprouts (optional)

Steps:

In a small bowl combine sugar, rice vinegar and lime juice and stir to dissolve. Add fish sauce, garlic, ginger, chiles and 1/2 cup water and stir together. Let sit for 15 minutes for flavors to meld. (May be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.)
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add rice noodles, stir and turn off heat. Let noodles soften (5 to 8 minutes, depending on brand), then drain and rinse with cold water. Leave in colander at room temperature.
Meanwhile, combine beef, fish sauce, sugar, garlic and lemon grass in a bowl. Massage seasoning into beef and let sit for 15 minutes.
Line a serving bowl or four individual large wide soup bowls with a few lettuce leaves and top with noodles.
Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. When wok is nearly smoking, add beef and quickly stir-fry until lightly browned and just cooked, about 2 minutes. Work in batches if necessary so meat browns and doesn't steam. (If you do not have a wok, you may use a cast iron skillet and work in batches.)
Top noodles with cooked beef, scallions, carrot, cucumber and daikon. Sprinkle with herbs, crushed peanuts and fried shallots (add sprouts if using). Drizzle lightly with dipping sauce and pass remaining sauce at table.

Slice your beef into very thin slices, about 3mm or so, against the grain. To make the marinade, finely chop ½ a lemongrass and ½ a chilli. Add them to a pestle and mortar along with 2 garlic cloves and ½ inch ginger. Crush to form a coarse paste. Add to the beef along with 1 tbsp each of fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and oil. Stir to coat the beef, then cover in cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1-24 hours.
Prepare the rest of your ingredients. If frying your own shallots, thinly slice, and fry in a pan with 3 tbsp oil on medium high heat for 5 minutes or so until crispy. Remove them and leave to drain on some kitchen paper. You can save the oil to use for the beef.
Pickle the cucumber. Slice it into thin slices, then add to a bowl and coat with the sugar and salt. Leave for 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
While the cucumber sits, roughly chop your cabbage into strips. Finely chop the other ½ lemongrass and fry in a pan until crispy. Then remove it and set aside.
