Glass Noodles Soup with Minced Beef
Commonly when it comes to glass noodles or bean thread noodle soup dishes the usual meat used is either pork or chicken, I never had seen beef used in this type of dish which I think is odd as it gives much flavours compared to the chicken and pork, that is why today we will have to make a glass noodle soup dish using minced beef as its main ingredient.

I’m hungry reading this in the middle of the night. Must try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing, ang sarap, Raymund!
Yum. Great comfort food! I just took a cooking course from a Filipina and she gave me a great trick for making broth. She said her mother used to use beef boullion, but they’re loaded with msg. She discovered this jelly type substance that you re hydrate and it adds flavor to any stock.
True I dont use them as well what I usually do is keep all bones of any meat I buy in the freezer, then when I get enough I just boil them with onions, salt, pepper and any vegetable scarps you can get like carrots and celery. In Asian shops you can buy soup bones as well if you’re not into keeping them in the freezer. For seafood I usually use mussels, pounded shrimp heads and dried shrimps, they give a really nice flavour.
Nice. I do the same with fish. Do good!
Just read the comment on how you keep bones in the freezer then make stock. I do the same thing. In fact, I just put the bones from tonight’s steaks in the freezer. Still need a few more for a pot stock. This is a great soup to use a good stock with, that’s for sure.
What an interesting, exciting soup, Raymund!
