Spicey Thai Style Beef Noodle Soup

Spicy Thai Style Beef Noodle Soup

Oriental Soups are so quick, easy and
healthy! This one is ready in about ten mins.

The basic idea is that you cook the
'lumps'- in this case, minced beef, green pepper, onion, mushroom and garlic-
Chillies go well too. Whilst the meat and veg are cooking, you bring some
noodles up to the boil, and finally add the cooked noodles and some flavoured
stock to complete the soup.

I like to use decent minced steak for this
dish- not something i do often, as most mince dishes need some fat.

Chop all your veg into small even lumps. Put
the mince in a pan on a gentle heat, allowing it to cook in its own fat, add the
veg and plenty of spices- a splash of sesame seed oil, 2 tbs fish sauce, 1 tbs
Thai 7Spice powder, Chilli flakes, 6 cardamom pods and salt and pepper. Leave
this mix to cook.

Break your raw noodles into a pan of boiling
water and cook for four minutes- As the noodles are nearly cooked add some
boiling water and a beef stock cube to the meat and veg mix. Drain the noodles,
and stir into the soup, bring it to the boil, and its done!
