Looking for a quick and delicious noodle soup recipe? Try making this tomato beef noodle soup. The soup is rich and tomato-y, you’ll definitely devour the entire bowl with no drops of soup left.

ingredients for making tomato beef noodle soup:

beef marinade:

• 150g sirloin/ ribeye beef steak (any cut of beef is fine)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• sprinkle of salt
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp water

noodle soup:

• 1 serving noodles (you can use your favourite type of noodle; here I used thin wheat noodles)
• 2 cloves garlic, diced
• 2 tsp ginger strips
• 1 scallion (white part for stir-fry, save the green part for garnish)
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3 medium fresh tomato, diced
• 2 cups water/ chicken broth
• pinch of salt to taste

steps:

1. Cut beef into thin slices and add marinade ingredients. The egg white and cornstarch helps to tenderise the meat and give it a velvety texture. Massage the meat so the marinade absorbs better. Marinate for at least 10 mins.
2. While waiting for the beef to marinate, prepare the rest of the ingredients by chopping tomatoes, garlic, ginger and scallions.
3. Heat up oil in a pot and saute your garlic, ginger, scallion and chilli flakes (optional). Stir-fry for a few minutes until aromatic. Then add ketchup, tomato, salt and sugar. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Pour water/chicken stock, then bring it to a boil. Add noodles and stir it around for a bit. Follow up with the beef. Once the beef changes colour, turn off the heat to prevent beef from overcooking.
5. Garnish with scallions and enjoy!

tips:

1. Freeze the steak for 20-30 minutes so that it’s easier to cut into thinner slices.
2. Make sure to “massage” the marinade into the beef so the sauces really absorb into the meat.
3. Once the beef changes colour or looks about 80% cooked, turn off the heat to prevent the beef from overcooking. The residual heat from the soup would continue to cook the beef.
4. Here I used dried Shang Hai noodles, which is a type of thin wheat noodles. You can use any noodle of your choice.
