Cooking Instructions
- The first and foremost step that you need to take while preparing this dish is to prepare the beef stew, for which you need to create the paste of ginger, chili, lemongrass, and coriander. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse them until you get a fine paste or puree.
- Now take a medium sized pan and heat some oil in it and then add the puree that you have just made. Cook it for around 5 to 6 minutes, before you add anything else to it.
- Once the puree is effectively cooked then add five spice powder, stock, soy sauce and beef to the pan and let it boil. Once it comes to boil, reduce the heat, put a lid on the pan and let it simmer for around 1 hour.
- Remove the lid from the pan after one hour, and then cook it for another 10 additional minutes.
- Now keep the stew aside, and take another pan and boil some water in it to cook the noodles. It’s always better to read the instructions on the package fully before you start cooking the noodles. And once your noodles are cooked make sure that you drain the water immediately to prevent them from over-cooking.
- Now divide the noodles equally in four bowls and pour beef stew in them.
Finally, garnish them with lime wedges and sprinkle the remaining coriander leaves in each bowl.
