If steak isn’t your thing, try substituting shrimp or extra-firm tofu. Or just use extra veggies and noodles. Remember that when assembling the rolls, arranging the ingredients in neat parallel lines gives the best visual effect when you cut them in half to serve.
Instructions
- Whisk together marinade ingredients except for cornstarch and garlic. Set aside 3 tablespoons of marinade to dress rice noodles and stir the garlic and cornstarch into the remainder. Add steak to the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator (1-24 hours).
- Discard marinade and grill steak over medium-high heat until just seared (1-2 minutes per side). Cool completely in the refrigerator (2-24 hours).
- When ready to assemble, toss the cold cooked noodles with reserved dressing, onions, mint, carrot, and sesame seeds. Set aside.
- To assemble, soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 3-4 seconds and place on a cutting board. Place a scant ¼ cup of the noodle mixture across the lower third of the wrapper. Slice steak thinly and top the noodles with a few strips of steak and some lettuce and cucumbers.
- Roll the wrapper up from the bottom (making a tight roll) and over the layer of ingredients. Fold the sides of the roll inward toward the center then roll upward to finish. The rice paper will stick to itself readily. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
