Spicy Beef Noodle Soup

I love this Spicy Beef Noodle Soup recipe because of its simplicity. It doesn’t get any more difficult than taking out two stock pots (and if you don’t have two stock pots, you can start with a smaller pot to boil the beef…but you will need to add boiling water to the soup base in the larger pot before simmering).

Spicy Cold Tofu 5 Minute Recipe

Due to its no-cook nature, this recipe really shines during the warmer months, but you can enjoy it any time of year.

Note: This post was originally published in April 2014. We’ve since updated it with clearer instructions, new photos, nutrition information, and more thoughts on this dish!...
