Beef with Boy Choy, Mushrooms and Noodles
Prep Time: about 5 minutes (plus time to bring water to the boil)
Cook Time: about 5 minutes
Yield: 1 serving

2 to 4 oz. thin rice noodles (also called rice sticks)
4 oz. beef sirloin
Olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt
1/2 a red onion, thinly sliced
A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced or grated
1 fresh red chili, seeded and thinly sliced (If not available, use serranos, or whatever small chilis you can find)
A small handful of shiitake and oyster mushrooms, wiped clean and torn or sliced (about 1/2 cup sliced)
1 cup chicken stock
1 baby bok choy, tough stem removed, sliced lengthwise into quarters

Boil about 2 quarts of water and soak the noodles according to package directions, about 8 minutes. Rub the beef with the olive oil, sprinkle with the cumin and salt and rub the spices in. Place in a really hot frying pan and sear on one side. Turn the beef over, add the onion, ginger, and chili, and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring the vegetables. Add the mushrooms and brown lightly for 1 or 2 minutes, then add the stock and bok choy and cook for another minute. Remove the beef and thinly slice. Drain the noodles and add to the pan. Pour the noodles and broth into a large bowl and top with the beef slices.
