did the suggested generic "asian" noodle soup with my stock. was pretty damn good if i do say so my damn self.
was just stock, left over shredded beef, ginger, green chilli, garlic, soy, carrot, bean sprouts, glass noodles, pak choi, loads of coriander and a squeeze of lime juice.
lives or dies on the quality of the stock this sort of thing and this was a good one. had roasted the beef bones then simmered for about four hours, with usual veg and herbs. removed veg and left it overnight to cool. in the fridge all day then skimmed before heating tonight. it was crystal clear and super tasty.
that 2.2kg joint of beef was over £40 but thinking about it now, it served six for a very special sunday lunch, two for sunday evening and another two tonight. easily enough left over to make another batch of soup for two tomorrow as well. that's 12 "man meals" out of one piece of meat and a couple of quid's worth of veg. doesn't seem anywhere near as extravagant now.
