Quick & Easy Asian beef noodle soup | spicy - foodmeanderings.com #asian #soup #beef #noodle

I cannot go to a Thai or Vietnamese restaurant without ordering some kind of soup! Soups are healthy, light, spicy, warm and perfect for a cool fall evening. But making soup can be extremely time-consuming.

  • 📋 Quick Asian Beef Noodle soup recipe
  • 🥣More Soup Recipes!
  •  

🥘Ingredients

Who knew salad dressing was such a quick and easy way to get lots of flavor into your beef noodle soup? Well I discovered, through this experiment, that it is. It adds a very full-bodied flavor to this soup! I also add fresh ginger, garlic, cilantro and bok choy to this soup to give it that extra fresh taste! My daughter loves this soup so much that she requested it for her birthday dinner!

For this quick Beef Asian Noodle Soup recipe, you'll need:

  • stir fry beef
  • beef soup stock
  • ramen noodles
  • Asian Sesame salad dressing
  • garlic
  • bok choy
  • sriracha sauce
  • cilantro (fresh)
  • fresh ginger
  • lime juice
  • lime wedges (optional)
  • green onions (optional)

📖 Variations & Substitutions

  • Weight Watchers friendlier - use light salad dressing and you can even substitute chicken for the beef
  • Gluten-free - use rice ramen noodles and a gluten-free salad dressing

I created this recipe when I was brainstorming creative recipes for a Kraft salad dressing contest. Well, it happened to be one of my experiments that went well (even after one try)- not like some of my early recipe experiments, specifically my Citrus Sunset Dessert Lasagna.

When I first started creating my own recipes about 8 years ago, I had many flops. Too many to even count.  But my Citrus Sunset Dessert Lasagna was one of my first and probably my biggest recipe fails ever. It was for a citrus contest and of course, in my mind, I had envisioned this beautifully baked dessert lasagna with bright, colorful layers of orange cake, cooked lemon pudding, topped with a stunning green lime jello (what the hell was I thinking?!) that would end up looking like a citrus sunset; whatever that looked like.

Third Time's the Charm: Oh how I wish I had a photo of that fail - it was a gem, I tell you... I still cringe thinking about it; in sorta the same way I shudder to think of myself back in the 80's, all decked out in my bright, shiny red satin roller skating jacket (with roller skates embroidered on the front of the jacket, no less). But I had to chuck five versions of that recipe in the trash. Yes, you read that correctly- 5!

I actually tried to make that Citrus Sunset Dessert Lasagna monstrosity 5 times! And it still didn't turn out. I guess that's another unanswered prayer I'm thankful for in my life; in addition to not snagging the dream guy from the roller rink.

However, that's when I decided I had to put something in place to get things under control and I instituted the "3rd time's the charm" rule.  I was only allowed to make something 3X and if it didn't turn out by the third time, then the recipe wasn't going to work and I had to accept that and move on with my life.

Getting it right the first time

But over time, I improved. I got to know liquid to dry ratios in baking, how different fats reacted under heat, what leavener to use etc... These days I hardly ever have to make a recipe more than once. Nowadays my recipes, like this quick Asian beef noodle soup with rice noodles usually, tend to work out the first time. But let me tell ya' - I earned that!

👪 Serving Size

🌡️Storing

This soup can be made ahead - it keeps well in the fridge for up to days in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

🔪🥬Instructions

This soup is very easy to make.

  2. Add beef broth to beef and bring to a boil over medium-high,  then add gluten-free ramen noodles.
  3. Boil for 1 minute until noodles start to separate, then separate further with a fork. Add all remaining ingredients.
  4. Reduce to medium- low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. 
  5. Garnish with additional cilantro, green onion and lime wedges, if desire

Funny, as I boasted about now being able to make my recipes in one try, I happened to make not one, but two recipe FAILS this weekend. I must have jinxed myself - if you believe in that sort of thing. Or maybe I was just long overdue for a fail. Well, on to round 2... Lets hope the 2nd time's the charm!
