Method
Reserve 100g of the beef. This can then be very thinly sliced and added to the soup just before serving. Cutting the meat when it is frozen helps you cut it very thinly. Add the stock ingredients to a large lidded pan and simmer for around one and a half hours. Add the fresh noodles, pak choi, spring onions and reserved sliced meat to the soup just before serving. These thin meat slices cook very quickly in the hot broth and are served quite rare. Sprinkle over some extra chilli and spring onion when serving.
