Method for Thai Bean Thread Beef

Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they turn golden brown then put them in a mortar and pestle, and pound gently. Set aside.

Place bean threads in scalding hot water, cook over low heat for a minute or two, then soak for 5  more minutes.

Slice the green onion as shown then fry in vegetable oil. Add sliced beef to the pan, add ground black pepper, fish sauce, and MSG (optional).  Fry for a bit at medium heat then add bean sprouts, bean thread, and sliced yellow onion.  Mix this over medium/low heat.

Add sesame oil, about 2 tablespoons of your toasted sesame seed, and fresh cilantro then transfer to a plate.  Serve with chilli garlic sauce on the side.

As a nice alternative: we also made this with prawns and sliced belly pork (see photo), instead of beef.  Start with a bit of sliced fresh shallots in a pan with vegetable oil, add the prawns and pork, mix well then proceed with bean thread and finish with the same ingredients. 

Enjoy!
