# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything happens in one pan so cleanup is almost nonexistent
  • The sauce doubles as a marinade and glaze, meaning more flavor with less work
02 -
  • Freezing the beef for twenty minutes makes it infinitely easier to slice thin against the grain
  • Rinse the rice noodles with cold water after draining or they will clump into one solid mass
03 -
  • Have everything chopped and measured before you turn on the stove because once you start cooking this comes together fast
  • Prep your sauce in a jar so you can just shake it and pour instead of digging out a whisk
