I love making it in winter, very warming and delicious. I've improvised it with maybe 80% of the correct ingredients before and it still tastes good. Usually omit any chilli so the kids can eat it. Our eldest is a weirdo who likes to eat noodles and pasta plain, I can usually get her to have the noodles in the soup itself, but the beef must be in a separate bowl for whatever reason 🤷‍♂️ I guess it's like eating instant noodles that way

Our kids will often just eat the noodles plain before they build up the courage to try the thing that's supposed to go on the noodles. A nice easy way to have something new but still know the kids are being fed.

I'll give this a go, hopefully some time soon! We have a bunch of poorer quality steak in the freezer, since we eat the good stuff first 😆

Do you use a recipe like this one? https://thewoksoflife.com/taiwanese-beef-noodle-soup-instant-pot/

Yeah that's a good one.

Honestly I've done it with half the specific chinese ingredients from that recipe missing and it still can taste pretty good. Have some additional chilli powder or condiments on hand for adding into your own bowl is good too so everyone can customise their own

Sweet, I'll put it on my list of things to try. Thanks!
