Beef Ball noodle

This is another "what to do with a lot of leftovers" recipe. Last Sunday was the 15th day of CNY. So there was a steamboat at my place. There were a lot of leftovers. In particular there was a lot of stock and some beef balls left. This is what I did; took me 5 minutes to prepare and cook.

Ingredients
- Beef balls
- Mee Sua
- Chicken Stock diluted with water
- Ginger
- Sesame Oil

I grated the ginger and then fried it in sesame oil for about ten seconds. This is to release the flavour; trust me the smell was out of this world!!!!! When the ginger started to brown (which took 10 secs) I poured in the chicken stock and water (about 1:1 parts) and brought it a boil.

Throw in the beef balls until cook and bring the whole thing to a boil. Place the mee sua in a bowl; DO NOT BOIL IT ALONG WITH THE STOCK. Just pour the stock beef balls etc into the bowl. Boiling the mee sua will just make it way too soft.

I topped it off with some fried shallots. All in all, it took me 5 minutes to prepare. A bit heavy on the carbo for me. But after hardly eating anything the last 2 days and a 2 hour badminton game; my body was crying out of food. So when you have to eat; just got to eat! Pretty sure this is better than instant noodles!
