Thai Beef Salad (by Biggs)

G is correct that I am on some kind of ladies weekend away this weekend. More specifically, a Duck Day Celebration ('cause we refuse to call it a Hen's Night) over on Stradbroke Island.

We spent most of the afternoon and evening sitting on our deck eating cheese (a LOT of cheese) and drinking wine (a LOT of wine). At about 9pm I realised that if we didn't put something more substantial in our stomachs the weekend would be wasted to hangovers so Amanda and I headed to the kitchen.

After a flurry of drunken frying, chopping and mixing, 10 minutes later we were tucking into a big bowl of beef, spinach, cucumber, shallots, tomatoes, garlic, chili, red onion, fried noodles, mint, coriander and a dressing of soy sauce, oil, fish sauce, lime and brown sugar. it was most excellent. Everyone loved it. I suspected this was a result of being a bit tipsy but Fiona commented that it would be delicious even if she was sober. Fiona is a highly intelligent women so it must be true.
