Chef's Tips

For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with grilled tofu or tempeh.

Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness.

You can add other vegetables to the salad, such as bean sprouts or snow peas.

If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear the beef steak in a skillet.

The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but add the dressing just before serving to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
