Ingredients
| 150g | dried rice vermicelli noodles |
|---|---|
| 1 tbsp | vegetable oil |
| 4 | garlic cloves, finely chopped |
| 3cm | piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and chopped |
| 1 | lemon grass stalk, trimmed and finely chopped |
| 1 | long red chilli, finely chopped |
| 500g | lean sirloin steak (trimmed of fat), thinly sliced |
| 1 tbsp | Sichuan pepper |
| 2 tbsp | fish sauce |
| 4 | spring onions, coarsely chopped |
| handful each of freshly chopped or torn basil, coriander and mint leaves | |
| juice of 1 lime |
Method
Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for around 5 minutes (or according to packet instructions) until tender, then drain and cool.
Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat, add the garlic, ginger, lemon grass and chilli and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the beef and Sichuan pepper and stir-fry for few minutes, or until the beef is browned all over – you don’t want to overcook it.
Add the fish sauce, toss in the noodles, spring onions and herbs, then remove from the heat. Turn out onto a big platter, squeeze over the lime juice and serve.
