Vietnamese soup with beef and noodles - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute rice noodles with other types like egg noodles, glass noodles, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option. Just adjust the cooking time according to the package instructions for your chosen noodle.
If you don't have fish sauce, you can use soy sauce as a substitute, but start with a smaller amount (about half) and adjust to taste. You can also add a tiny pinch of seaweed flakes for a hint of umami.
Absolutely! To make it vegetarian/vegan, substitute the beef broth with vegetable broth. Replace the beef tenderloin with tofu, tempeh, or mushrooms. Omit the fish sauce or substitute with a vegan fish sauce alternative.
The soup itself (broth and vegetables) can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it's best to store the noodles separately and add them when serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Freezing the broth is fine, but the noodles and fresh vegetables might become mushy. It's best to freeze the broth on its own and add freshly cooked noodles and vegetables when reheating. Cool the broth completely before freezing.
Definitely! Feel free to add other vegetables like bean sprouts, mushrooms, bok choy, or snap peas to customize it to your liking. Add them during the last few minutes of cooking to retain their crispness.
If you like more heat, add more sriracha sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the chili. You can also use a spicier type of chili pepper.
While tenderloin is ideal for its tenderness, you can use sirloin or flank steak. Just make sure to slice it very thinly against the grain for best results. Marinating the beef beforehand can also help tenderize it.
