Technique to learn

Broth Infusion

Simmering aromatic fresh ginger directly in stock extracts essential oils without clouding the light soup broth.

Instructions

Bring beef stock, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and grated ginger to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Soft-boil the eggs in a small pot of boiling water for 6 minutes, transfer immediately to an ice bath, peel, and slice in half.

Step 3: Cook the wheat noodles in a separate pot of boiling water according to package directions, drain thoroughly, and divide among four deep bowls.

Step 4: Season the flank steak with remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce; heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat and sear steak for 3 minutes per side until seared outside and tender inside.

Step 5: Flash-steam the halved baby bok choy directly in the simmering ginger beef broth for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6: Ladle hot ginger broth over the noodles, then arrange thin slices of seared beef, bok choy, a soft-boiled egg half, and fresh scallions on top.

Cooking tips

Do not overcook the saimin noodles; drain them as soon as tender so they retain a firm bite in the hot broth.
Slice the beef as thinly as possible after searing to ensure tender bites.
