There is nothing like a little juicing to get your appetite really fired up. Being that I am somewhat of a masochist I like to juice and simultaneously look at food pictures on Pinterest. Sick, isn’t it? What I realized was that I have Ramen envy. I see pictures of the most insanely drool worthy bowls of ramen noodle soup, most of them with a runny egg on top. Sigh…

Spicy Beef Asian Noodle Soup

Coming off the juice cleanse, it was really dominating most of my thoughts. Ramen, Ramen, Ramen. I just had to figure out how to make something at least similar (but gluten and egg free) for me at home. Noodles, tender beef and tasty broth were essential. Check, Check and check.

Spicy Beef Asian Noodle Soup

Spicy Asian Steak Noodle Soup is the result- only we are dealing with rice noodles instead of ramen. The thin beef is extra thin and I piled the soup high with delicious extra’s like shaved cabbage, green onions, chili and cilantro. Pretty much I just slurped my way straight through an enormous bowl.

With a long rainy weekend ahead of me, I am planning another soup fest in the next few days. Maybe this time I will save some for Pete. Maybe.
