Ingredients

500 g lean beef strips
120 g dried soba noodles
1 tbsp olive oil
2 litre Asian noodle soup base (8 cups), we used Beef Pho soup base in this recipe
1 red capsicum (pepper) thinly sliced
125 g fresh baby corn halved lengthways
150 g shitake mushrooms thinly sliced
150 g snow peas trimmed, halved diagonally
1 bunch Asian greens leaves separated
100 g bean sprouts trimmed
1 long red chilli thinly sliced, to serve

fresh coriander (cilantro) to serve

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.
