Notes

Budget beef rump steak (also known as 'smart buy' rump) is a cheap alternative to rump steak. You can prepare the noodles and dressing a day ahead. Cover separately, then refrigerate. To make this dish gluten-free, check the ingredients of your sweet chilli sauce (thickeners 406 and 415 are gums and are gluten free); fish sauce is usually gluten free.
