Inspired by the bright, punchy flavours of Thai beef salad, this vermicelli bowl pairs marinated seared steak with crisp vegetables, juicy mango, and a tangy nam jim jaew — also known as khao khua sauce. The toasted rice powder (khao khua) adds nutty depth, but the dressing is still delicious without! You can find it at Asian grocery stores or toast uncooked sticky rice in a dry pan until golden, then grind into a coarse powder.
