2. Build the Flavor Base
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.
3. Simmer the Broth
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar (if using). Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the broth simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Cook the Noodles
While the broth simmers, cook the noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Add the Beef and Eggs
Return the seared beef to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is tender.
Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
6. Assemble and Serve
Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls.
Ladle the hot soup over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion of beef, tomatoes, and broth.
Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Tips for Success
Choose Quality Beef: Thinly sliced cuts like sirloin or flank steak work best for tenderness.
Control the Egg Texture: Stir slowly while adding the eggs for beautiful ribbons.
Customize Noodles: Use your favorite noodle type, such as udon, rice noodles, or soba, to suit your taste.
Perfect Pairings
Crispy Spring Rolls: For added crunch and flavor.
Pickled Vegetables: A tangy side to balance the rich broth.
Jasmine Tea: A soothing drink to complement the meal.
