Steps:
- For the beef and dressing: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt. Grill until medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
- To make the dressing, combine the ponzu (or soy sauce), sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, hot chili oil and garlic in a bowl. Mix to combine, then taste and adjust the flavors/seasonings.
- When the steak is cool enough, place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Seal the bag tightly and place in the fridge until needed.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and place in a bowl. Pour the remaining dressing over the top and toss to combine. Finally, toss in the green onions. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or until cool. You can make the steak and noodles well in advance of when you want to serve them.
- For the peanut sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over low heat. Add the curry powder, garlic, shallot and ginger and cook until the aromatics soften, about 5 minutes.
- Scrape into a blender and add the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, hot chili oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Blend, adding hot water as needed a little at a time to thin it and make it smooth.
- To serve, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle a little ponzu (or soy sauce) over the noodles, just to give them a little flavor boost, throw in the chopped cilantro and toss to combine. Serve the strips of beef over a mound of noodles, or throw it all into a bowl together. Put some of the peanut sauce into small bowls and serve on the side--to be poured over when you eat.

RICE NOODLE BOWLS WITH SWEET CHILI CHICKEN
One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes is bun thịt nuong, which consists of cold or room temperature rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork and pickled and fresh vegetables. When I can't get to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I make this easy and tasty riff at home. It's layered with incredible flavor, which comes from sweet and tangy stir-fried chicken, aromatic basil and the best-ever quick pickles. Don't have the rice noodles? Swap in your favorite grain, pasta or spiralized vegetable.

RACHAEL RAY'S YAKITORI NOODLE BOWLS- REMIXED
This isn't exactly her recipe, but I have to give her credit. I saw her make this on her show the other day, and it just looked so tasty However I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, so I improvised. If you want to try her recipe go to http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/yakitori-noodle-bowls/ and follow the recipe. Here's my version. I've reduced the amount of scallions and added carrots for extra veggies. I also skipped on the sherry and went with stock because I didn't have any sherry. Also didn't have tamari, but soy sauce is the closest equivilent.
