Sniffles and Homework







Once again a virus has hit home. This week was hard with kids sick, doctors' appointments and school (yes twittering is part of school work).


Little time to do any home cooking, but I wanted to share this delicious soup that I love getting at a Vietnamese restaurant not far from my home. I was able to find a recipe of it, and I have posted below.





Beef Noodle Soup

4 ounces dried rice noodles
6 cups cold water
3 (10.5) cans condensed beef broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 Thai chile, chopped
1/2 pound boneless top round steak, sliced very thin
1/4 pound fresh basil
4 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 pound mung bean sprouts
4 green onions, thinly sliced
4 wedges lime


Instructions: Soak noodles in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain. Bring water to a boil in large pot. Add noodles, and boil 3 to 5 minutes, don't overcook. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. Meanwhile, combine beef broth, ginger and salt, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Place equal portions of noodles into 4 large soup bowls, and place raw beef on top. Ladle hot broth over noodles and beef. Garnish with lime wedges, basil leaves, cilantro mung beans, and green onions, and serve.
