Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g beef or chicken, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 6 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 150g egg noodles or your choice of noodles
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme (optional)

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add meat chunks and cook until browned on all sides.
  4. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until meat is tender.
  5. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 6–8 minutes.
  7. Add broccoli in the last 3 minutes of cooking to keep it vibrant and slightly crisp.

  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions.

Notes

  • Use bone broth for added richness and nutrients.
  • Swap beef or chicken for tofu or plant-based meat for a vegetarian option.
  • For extra depth, add a dash of fish sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
