Asian Beef Noodle Bowl

Share

The best noodle bowl I ever ate was in Geneva, Switzerland. No joke. This local, no frills Asian restaurant served a heaping bowl of fresh ingredients all swirling together in incredible sweet and sour flavors. This recipe is my attempt to re-create that dish at home. And it worked! My husband devoured the meal exclaiming “this tastes just like that restaurant!” Success 🙂 This recipe makes 3 large servings.

Ingredients:
Asian Marinated Flank Steak, sliced thin (Recipe listed separately on this site)

4 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, chopped
