Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 8 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Soup Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 6 oz dried wheat noodles or ramen noodles
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and white pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant to build the soup’s base flavor.
- Cook tomatoes: Add chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and slightly broken down, releasing their juices into the mixture.
- Add broth and simmer: Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Cook the beef: Add the marinated beef slices to the simmering soup and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just cooked through, ensuring tender texture.
- Prepare noodles: Add dried noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Create egg ribbons: While gently stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs to form silky, delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.
- Season and garnish: Season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste, then garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh finish. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a lighter and vegetarian-friendly version.
- Add a dash of chili oil if you prefer extra heat.
- Include greens like bok choy to boost vegetable content and nutrition.
