    Ching's Classic Beef Noodle Soup
    • 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
    • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
    • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
    • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • 1 red chile, stemmed, seeded and chopped
    • 1 red Thai bird chile, stemmed, seeded and chopped
    • 7 ounces beef chuck roast or boneless shin, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
    • 1 quart vegetable or beef stock
    • 4 ounces dried flat udon noodles
    • 1 small carrot, chopped
    • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon chili bean sauce, plus more as needed
    • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
    • 1 small Romaine lettuce heart, sliced into 1/2-inch ribbons
    • 2 scallions, chopped
    • Small handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
    • Directions
    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes, and then stir in the ginger, garlic and chiles and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the beef and stir-fry until it begins to brown, and then pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the meat is very tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the udon according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside

    Add the carrots to the simmering soup, cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk together the sugar, bean sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved and stir it into the soup. While stirring, pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup and cook until thickened, about 1 minute.

    Just before serving, divide the noodles between 2 bowls. Stir the Romaine into the broth and ladle the hot soup over each bowl. Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro and serve immediately.

    My dinner for tonite Putting it in slow cooker now

    Hi Maryleuelu
    Just learned you can't use the back button halfway through a post without losing your half written message :smile:
    Finding my way around slowly. I first logged on a couple of years ago but not for long and didn't take it seriously. I aim to this time. I am using the phone app. Quick and simple.

    I like skinny thoughts :smiley:
