For a spicier kick, add more chile paste to the dressing, or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef while cooking. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh parsley. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, or bean sprouts. The Gingered Dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
