Tips:
- Ensure the rice noodles are not overcooked; they should be tender but firm to the bite.
- Use fresh ingredients, especially the basil leaves, to enhance the flavors.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrients.
- Marinating the beef with a bit of fish sauce and lime juice before cooking can add extra flavor.
- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the noodles from becoming soggy.
