Blazing Big Rice Noodles With Beef Food

QUICK AND EASY BEEF AND RICE NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring the stock to a very light simmer in a large pot, then add the beef base, fish sauce, hoisin, scallion halves, ginger, cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Using a spider or strainer, remove all the solids, leaving you with just the broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with the additional tablespoon of soy sauce if it needs more salt, or hoisin if it needs more sweetness. Bring the broth back to a light simmer.
• Meanwhile, set up your bowls. On the bottom, divvy up the rice noodles, then top with the shaved beef. Pour in some simmering broth. Garnish with the bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, scallions sliced on the bias, jalapenos and lime wedges. Drizzle with extra hoisin if desired.

BARBECUED BEEF WITH LEMON GRASS AND NOODLES

Steps:

• For the marinade, pound the garlic, sugar, and shallots in a mortar into a paste. Add the fish sauce, sesame seeds, black pepper, sesame oil, and lemon grass.

• Preheat a ridged grill or broiler and place the meat on the hot grill. Cook for 1 minute on each side. Cool to room temperature.
• Cook the rice sticks in boiling water for about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
• To serve, set out 4 to 6 bowls and arrange the food in the following manner:
• Place some shredded cucumber and lettuce in the bottom of each bowl, then sprinkle on some of the mint and coriander. Distribute the noodles among the bowls. Arrange the meat over the noodles. Sprinkle with more mint and cilantro, plus the chopped peanuts. Add a few pieces of shredded hot pepper on top and decorate with a sprig of cilantro.
• Serve with a bowl of nuoc cham to sprinkle on top.
• For Nuoc Cham, peel garlic. Split the chile and remove seeds and membrane. Cut into pieces and put into mortar with garlic and sugar. Pound to a paste. Squeeze the lime juice into the paste and with a small knife remove the pulp from the lime section and add it as well. Mash this mixture and add the fish sauce and water.
