Method
- Cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Run under cold water and set aside to cool.
- Tip the garlic, sugar, lime juice and fish sauce into a bowl, then whisk until well. Add the chilli, according to taste. Taste and adjust the flavours if you need to: it should be a balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet.
- Add the carrot, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, spring onion, herbs and noodles to a large salad bowl and pour over most of the dressing. Toss until everything is well combined, then lay the beef slices over the top. Pour over the remaining dressing and scatter over the peanuts, to serve.
