Method

  1. 1 Blanch chopped celery for exactly 30 seconds, then soak it in ice water to preserve its green color and crispness.
  2. 2 Marinate thinly sliced beef with minced garlic and a little vinegar for 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Sauté the beef over the highest heat for 90 seconds, then spread it out on a tray to cool quickly.
  4. 4 The beef must be cool before mixing; if it's still hot, the vegetables will cook further and become mushy.
  5. 5 Prepare the dressing by mixing fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili peppers, then combine it all with roasted peanuts and Vietnamese coriander.
