Satay Beef And Noodle Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the soy, peanut butter, lime zest and juice, then set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat, add ½ the spring onions, ½ the chilli, the garlic and a pinch of salt, and cook for 3 mins.
• Pour in 450ml water, bring to the boil, then crumble in the coconut. Stir to dissolve, then spoon in the peanut butter mixture. Mix well, drop in the noodles and ½ the carrot ribbons, and cook for 5 mins. Season to taste, spoon into a bowl and top with the remaining spring onion, chilli and carrot ribbons. Drizzle over extra sesame oil or soy.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet and lightly saute the ginger and garlic for 1 minute.
• Add the beef stock, nuoc nam, lemon grass, spring onions, cinnamon and star anise.
• Bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, then strain and return stock to pan.
• Stock can be prepared to this stage, 3 days ahead.
• On the day of serving, prepare the ingredients for the garnishes and place in small serving bowls.
• Around 20 minutes before serving, place the noodles in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and soak until noodles are soft (about 20 minutes), then drain well.
• When ready to serve, bring the stock to the boil and add the satay sauce, and Sriracha chili sauce or sambal oelek, if desired.
• Taste and correct seasoning, adding a touch more satay sauce and chili sauce if desired.
• Divide the hot rice stick noodles between 4 to 6 deep soup bowls, and top with sliced, raw, beef fillet.
• Ladle over enough boiling stock to cover the noodles and meat.
• Whether the beef is rare or well done is determined by how long the beef sits in the hot broth before serving.
• Each person tops their portion with their choice of garnishes, a squeeze of lime juice and Sriracha sauce if desired.
