Description
A savory and hearty beef noodle soup that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound beef brisket, cut into small chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 6 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups water
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 cups napa cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by warming the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef brisket and allow it to brown evenly, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, toss in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Cook until the onion softens and becomes translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and add the beef stock, tamari sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and water. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Stir in the rice noodles, shredded napa cabbage, and sliced bell peppers. Allow everything to cook together for another 7-9 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Adjust the seasoning to your liking, then ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.
Notes
- For an extra depth of flavor, drizzle a bit of chili oil just before serving.
- If you like it spicy, feel free to toss in some crushed red pepper flakes or a few slices of fresh chili.
- You can also switch the beef for shrimp or lentils for a delightful twist.
