Light Asian beef soup

Method

  • Prepare noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook beef strips, in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Set aside on a plate loosely covered with foil.
  • Meanwhile, place soup base into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat before reducing heat to a simmer. Add capsicum, corn, mushrooms, snow peas and Asian greens and simmer for 2 minutes or until just tender.
  • Divide noodles and cooked vegetables between bowls. Top with beef and ladle over hot broth. Serve topped with sprouts, chilli, green onions and coriander.

Notes

TIPS
*The Asian soup base is available in most supermarkets in the stock section – there are a variety of other flavours available – Chinese, Pho, Ramen, Thai, Laksa, etc.
  • The heat from the broth will reheat the beef.
  • Serve with hoisin sauce for extra sweetness or hot chilli sauce for extra heat.
  • Use your choice of noodles in the soup – egg, ramen, udon, rice or vermicelli noodles would all work well.
