Method

1. Place the thin beef strips into a bowl and add all the marinade ingredients. Combine well, cover and refrigerate until required.
2. Place the noodles and all the vegetable ingredients into a large mixing bowl and using a gentle hand, combine well. Prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients well.
3. Using a carving fork, place it into the noodle mix and turn gently until you have formed a neat round stack around the tongs. Place onto a serving plate.
