Create thin ribbons carrots and cucumbers with vegetable peeler into approximately 3 inch strips. Slice radishes. Drizzle on 1/4 cup of prepared prik nam pla sauce, toss and set aside.

In a wok or large frying pan, add oil, grated ginger, garlic and Asian garlic chili sauce (or sriracha) until aromatic.

Stir fry the ground beef along with the aromatics. Be sure to break up the ground beef well and fry until browned. Drain any extra oil.

Enjoy!
