Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Using half the carrot, peel and make ribbons by running a peeler the full length of the carrot and place into a salad bowl. Slice the radish in half, then finely slice into halfmoons and add to the salad bowl with the mung beans. Remove the mint leaves from their stalks and add to the salad bowl. Roughly chop the coriander including the stalks and add half to the salad bowl. Just before serving pour in the Vietnamese dressing and gently toss to combine.
2. TO COOK THE RICE:
Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Open the bag of steamed brown and black rice, squeezing gently on the bag to break up any large clumps. Once hot, add the rice and season with salt. Cook for 4-5 mins. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
3. TO COOK THE SHAKING BEEF:
Wipe out the pan, respray with oil and place over a high heat. Once hot add the garlic marinated beef strips, season with salt and stir fry for 60-90 secs – do not cook any longer as this will make them tough.
TO SERVE:
Spoon rice and Vietnamese vegetables into a bowl. Top with shaking beef, pouring over any pan juices. Sprinkle over toasted peanuts and shallots and remaining coriander. Mix together to eat.
