Sarah's Version of Bun Bo

Well, I'm glad Mandy tried this first - I too thought putting noodles and stir fry over mixed salad was a bit weird.  Instead of mixed greens I used shredded baby spinach because I thought that would just wilt down somewhat with the hot noodles on it instead of going as weird as I imagine lettuce etc would.

I used deep fried tofu cubes instead of steak which meant that the deglaze the pan bit doesn't work quite so well - I just added a bit more sauce to compensate.
I forgot to buy bean sprouts so I used some sliced green beans instead which were good for a bit of colour as Matt's version without them looked very monotonous.  

Matt's version (with steak) worked out well and he thought it was tasty.  However, he also thought that 100g of steak between two people wasn't enough and used probably twice that for one person.

When I do this again I think I'll just add the shredded spinach or an asian green at the end of cooking instead of having it in the bottom of the bowl.

The fried shallot, roast peanut and sesame seed combo on top was brilliant and I'm definitely going to use that on other dishes.
