How to Make Thai Beef Noodle Soup Gwaytio Nuea Nam

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and fry until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef strips and set aside, reserving the oil and juices in the pot.
  2. Add minced garlic to the pot and fry until golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning (about 1 minute).
  3. Add ground beef, celery, and scallions. Cook, stirring constantly, until the beef is browned (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Pour in beef stock, add black pepper, cinnamon stick, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil.
  5. Add the wide rice noodles and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in bean sprouts.
  7. (Optional) If using, soak red pepper flakes in rice vinegar for a milder heat. Serve in individual bowls, topping each with the browned beef strips and chopped cilantro.
  8. (Optional) Add a spoonful of the vinegar-soaked red pepper flakes to each bowl for extra spice.
