This Spicy Asian Beef Noodle Bowl is a healthy flavor bomb.  It’s chock full of good-for-you ingredients and cooks in 6 minutes!

Spicy Asian Beef Noodle BowlWe love Asian food. It is so quick and easy to make at home not to mention so much better for you.  This Spicy Asian Beef Noodle Bowl is rich with deep flavors and it finishes with a punch of heat.

Spicy Asian Beef Noodle BowlWhen we go out for dinner, we often go for Asian food.  You would think with all of those veggies that it would all be healthy right?  Well, that’s not always the case.  Much of the Asian food you get is loaded with sodium and is often fried in oil.  There is a reason it’s delicious but that doesn’t have to be the case.  This 6-minute Spicy Asian Beef Noodle Bowl recipe proves it.

Spicy Asian Beef Noodle BowlThere are so many flavors and textures in this dish.  I made a homemade bone broth which was delicious but I’ve got to be honest.  It was expensive and time-consuming.  A good quality, low fat, low sodium, beef broth or stock will work just fine.  You can also vary the veggies in this bowl.  We LOVE mushrooms but I know some of you don’t.  Feel free to exchange them with some bell peppers, broccolini, cabbage or another vegetable that tastes great when cooked al dente.

Spicy Asian Beef Noodle BowlAnother great thing about the Asian Beef Noodle Bowl recipe is that it can be as spicy as you want it.  As you probably know John like enough spice to knock your socks off.  I like a warm finish that doesn’t make me want to drink a gallon of water after each bite. Those Thai chilis pack a lot of heat in their little package.  I cook them in the broth and John adds more to his bowl at the end.  Both of us remove the seeds! Lastly, this is a NO-GUILT complete meal.  The thinly sliced lean sirloin is a great source of protein and soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour that adds fiber.  You could definitely make this a vegetarian bowl too.

  2. What beautiful colors and flavors in your Spicy Asian Beef Noodle Bowl, Julie. I'd love a bowl right about now. I agree with Mimi, it's great that you found fresh turmeric. Did you find it hard working with the yellow tint? Did it leave marks anywhere? We used it a lot growing up, but I must confess I have never used the fresh variety. Are you still reeling from all the excitement? So so happy for you.

    • Thank you, Loretta! This was my first time using fresh turmeric and I must admit it took me seconds to grab a paper towel to hang on to it while I grated it. I found it in our Asian store and there was a lot in the package. It's in the freezer for next time along with those peppers. They sure go a long way and pack a punch. I'm having a ball just watching that little one. She changes every day and her parents are so happy.

  7. Brooks recently introduced to me authentic ramen and now I can't go back to those instant packets that cost $1 for like 1000 of them. This is great for a weeknight meal when everything is too busy to do!
