• Pour canola oil into wok 1-inch deep; heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place 1/4 of the beef strips into hot oil; separate strips with a fork. Cook, stirring frequently, until coating is crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove beef to drain on paper towels; repeat with remaining beef.

GINGER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine onion, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

GINGER-LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the ginger, lime juice, and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Taste and adjust the flavors with more lime juice or sugar as needed. The ginger and lime should both be prominent, but not to the point that they make you wince and pucker. Add the fish sauce, starting out with 2 tablespoons and adding more as your palate dictates. Set aside for 30 minutes to let the ginger bloom before serving.
• Put the sauce on the table so that diners can serve themselves, or divide among individual dipping sauce bowls. It may be prepared 2 to 3 hours in advance and left at room temperature until serving.

LIME-SOY-GINGER SAUCE

• 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer to allow the flavors to meld.
• 2. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed glass container for up to 5 days.

SOY GINGER DIPPING SAUCE

• Add all of the ingredients to a lidded jar and shake well to combine. Serve as a dipping sauce for tempura or dumplings.

GINGER-LIME DIPPING SAUCE AND WARM BEEF ON COOL NOODLES

Steps:

• For the Dipping Sauce: Place the garlic, chilies, chili paste, and ginger in a mortar and pound into a paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Transfer to a glass jar and cover with a tight lid. If refrigerated the sauce will keep up to 3 weeks.
• Combine all salad ingredients and toss gently. Place about a cup of the salad mixture in individual pasta bowls. Top each with about two cups of the noodles. Set the prepared noodle bowls aside.
• Combine the beef, lemon grass, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over high heat. Add the garlic ad onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Remove beef from marinade and stir-fry until just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide the beef topping among the prepared bowls and garnish each with peanuts and cilantro. Invite each guest to drizzle on 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dipping sauce. Have them toss the noodles several times with chopsticks to blend the ingredients.
