1
Simmer the stock with the garlic and ginger for 15 minutes to build a fragrant base, then season with the soy sauce and salt.

Cook the noodles separately so the broth stays clean, and divide them between deep bowls.
3
Cook the beef gently in the simmering broth until just done, then lift out and slice or portion.

Ladle the piping-hot broth over the noodles and arrange the beef on top.
5
Finish with perilla leaves, spring onions and a wedge of rice vinegar on the side.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of rice vinegar just before serving lifts every other flavour.
