Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn them.
- Increase the heat slightly and add the thinly sliced beef sirloin. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned but not fully cooked through.
- Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
- While the soup simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Add the chopped bok choy to the pot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the bok choy is wilted and tender.
- Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
- To serve, divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot soup over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a generous amount of beef and bok choy.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over each bowl for a zesty kick.
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef in soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or snap peas for additional texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a splash of chili oil or fresh sliced chilies when serving.
