Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 4 cups Beef Broth (home-made is absolutely preferable)
- 1 handful thinly sliced beef
- 1 packet thin (glass) rice nooddles, or ramen
- 1 handful bean sprouts
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1 lime, cut in wedges for squeezin\'
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups shitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup scallions, diced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt, pepper
- sriracha, added as you please!
Instruction
- Finely mince 2 or 3 cloves of garlic and sauté in a large soup pot over medium heat.
- Once the garlic is turning golden, pour in the broth, followed by your scallions and thinly sliced mushrooms.
- Add in a pinch of salt and pepper, and a dash each of chili powder, cumin, and ginger.
- Pour in 4- 5 cups of water, and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until adequately reduced.
- Once the broth is finished, place a handful of rice noodles in the bottom of a bowl and pour the piping hot liquid over. The noodles will begin to cook, and now you can add your condiments! I love the traditional bean sprouts, hand torn fresh basil, thin slices of jalapeno, and a squeeze of lime. If you like it spicy (like I do), stir in a bit of Sriracha hot sauce! If a more mild flavor is what you prefer, you can also add Hoisen or a bit of duck sauce.
- Slurp up, and enjoy!
