Spicy Beef And Vegetable Soup Ingredients

Spicy Beef and Vegetable Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 400g Beef (chuck or brisket) (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1 Onion (chopped)
• 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
• 1-2 tbsp Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) or Sriracha (adjust to heat level)
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Fish Sauce (optional, for depth of flavor)
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 4 cups Beef Broth (or water)
• 2 Carrots (sliced)
• 2 Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 Zucchini (sliced)
• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced, optional)
• 2-3 cups Napa Cabbage or Spinach (roughly chopped)
• 1-2 Green Chilies (sliced, optional for extra heat)
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• Fresh Coriander or Green Onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef:

   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
   • Add the beef pieces and cook until browned on all sides (about 5-6 minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics:

   • In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

3. Add Spice and Flavor:

   • Stir in the gochujang (or sriracha), soy sauce, and fish sauce (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Add Broth and Vegetables:

   • Return the beef to the pot, then add the beef broth (or water). Bring to a boil.
   • Add the sliced carrots, potatoes, and zucchini. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through.

5. Add Greens:

   • Stir in the mushrooms (if using) and chopped napa cabbage or spinach. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the greens are wilted.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Adjust seasoning with black pepper and additional soy sauce or salt if needed.
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander or green onions. Add sliced green chilies for extra heat if desired.
