Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Pickle the vegetables
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough ¼-inch-thick half-moons to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, carrots, and quick-pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the onion and your protein
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Steak, chicken, or pork strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the onion and your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion and lemongrass paste, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion starts to soften and the lemongrass is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes for steak or pork and 6 to 8 minutes for chicken. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
4
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Trim the root end from the romaine heart; separate the leaves.
- Thinly slice the radishes.
Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled vegetables from the brine. Transfer the romaine leaves to individual plates. Top with your protein, pickled vegetables, and radishes and serve.
