Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Grate carrot. Roughly chop Asian greens. Drain sweetcorn. • Place vermicelli noodles in a large bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover the vermicelli, then cover and set aside until tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain.
• While the vermicelli is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. • Return pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir-fry the carrot, zucchini, corn and ginger lemongrass paste until softened, 2 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Add oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and a pinch of sugar to the veggies. Stir to combine. • Return cooked beef to the pan and cook, stirring, until bubbling, 30 seconds. • Remove from heat, then add the vermicelli noodles. Toss to combine.
• Divide ginger and lemongrass beef with veggies and vermicelli noodles between bowls. • Tear over coriander.
