Having cooked most of Nigella's recipes from "How to Eat", I've now moved to Bombay. Plan is now to cook what i think Nigella would if she moved here!

Cambodian Hot and Sour Beef Salad
There were some lovely crisp flavours in this recipe, and what is great about Cambodian and Vietnamese cooking is the raw-ness of the cooking and the ingredients. I don't think though that grilling the beef, complements the other flavours - next time i would definitely sear the beef in a pan.
- Cook 225g fillet steak - Nigella says grill but I say sear in a hot pan.
- However you cook it, thinly slice the beef and keep the juices from the cooking and slicing..
- In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon fish sauce, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1-2 red/green chillies and 1 finely sliced shallot.
- Add the beef juices to the sauce and pour over some rocket and lettuce leaves.
- Add the thinly sliced beef.
I think i slightly overdid my beef on the grill, which i think is also part of the problem with grilling. Overall however, a simple tasty way of enjoying beef.
