Recipe Summary Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup
This is a simplified version of a Vietnamese beef noodle soup. The Vietnamese make the broth from scratch, and simmer it for hours.Ingredients | Beef Stew Rice Noodle Soup
4 ounces dried rice noodles
6 cups cold water
3 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 Thai chile, chopped
½ pound boneless top round steak, sliced very thin
¼ pound fresh basil
4 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
¼ pound mung bean sprouts
4 green onions, thinly sliced
4 wedges lime
4 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
Directions
Soak noodles in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain. Bring water to a boil in large pot. Add noodles, and boil 3 to 5 minutes - don't overcook. Drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, combine beef broth, ginger, salt, and Thai pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Place equal portions of noodles into 4 large soup bowls, and place raw beef on top. Ladle hot broth over noodles and beef. Garnish with lime wedges, basil leaves, cilantro, mung beans, and green onions, and serve with hot pepper sauce and oyster sauce.
It's easier to slice the beef if it has been partially frozen beforehand.
