Heat a pot over medium heat. Add water and the ground beef, then stir and cook until rare or done to your liking.

Turn off the heat and transfer the beef to a mixing bowl or use the same pot to mix in the dressing. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, chili flakes, MSG, and toasted rice powder. Mix well until everything is coated.

Gently stir in your sliced shallots and fresh herbs like coriander and green onions. Serve immediately.
