Method
- Place all of the ingredients into a large saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce the temperature and simmer for two hours. Using a large spoon, lift the beef out of the pan and place onto a plate.
- Remove the bone and any fat and using a knife and fork shred the meat into little pieces.
- Sieve the remaining stock to remove and discard the vegetables. You should be left with about 1 litre of delicious stock.
- Pour the stock back into the saucepan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the garlic, ginger, shrimp paste, sugar, chilli and fish sauce.
- Add the spring onions, Pak choi, noodles, cooked shin and coriander and simmer for another few minutes. Ladle into warm bowls and serve.
