Preparation
Cook the beef
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef* and garlic; season with ½ the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the yu choy stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems. Quarter the lime.
Cook the vegetables
To the pan of beef, add the yu choy and carrots. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until the vegetables are tender; season with the remaining spices.
Boil the vermicelli
Meanwhile, add the vermicelli to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 2 to 3 min., until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Combine the vermicelli
To the pan of beef and vegetables, add the vermicelli and teriyaki glaze. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
Plate your dish
Divide the vermicelli between your bowls. Garnish with the peanuts and lime wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
