Today i ransacked the freezer and found a packet of thinly sliced beef , lots of chicken bones, a knob of Szechuan pickled veg and i decided to cook my very own beef noodle soup! I always enjoy the Vietnamese version but i don't have all those herbs at hand. So i just made up this simple recipe all on my own with some recollections of different noodle soup i had in several places.
I started out by boiling the chicken bones in a big pot , adding slices of crushed ginger and lots of crushed pepper seeds too. A pinch of salt was added and some pork stock too that i bought from Thailand :) very yummy ! As the soup was boiling i sliced the Szechuan veg into thin strips and then dumped them into the stock as well. 2 more pieces of chicken breasts were also added cuz i wanted to have some chicken meat in the noodles too.
When the stock was tasty enough, i removed all the bones and sliced the 2 pieces of chicken breasts and kept that aside. I dropped the slices of beef into the soup and then shredded lots of dried black seaweed into the soup as well. And that was it!When it came time for lunch, i boiled Maggi mee noodles and blanched some veggies as well. then Diane and i sat and ate the yummy beef noodles together !!! Slurp!!!
I wanted to take a pic but i was so eager to eat my noodles , i only remembered about taking a snapshot after i slurped the last drop of soup! Isnt that always the case with us when we go anywhere to eat and say we want to blog about the food!!!????? TYPICAL !!!!
E-asy 2 cook!
