Simple Beef Mami/Beef Noodle Soup

As the name implies, this is gonna be simple as I am only using as little ingredients as possible. Beef as our main ingredient will give most of the flavor to this dish. I did not have spring onions thus I replace it with plain onion and it still work for me. As you can see there is no egg or carrot use, just plain napa cabbage. You can always add more vegetable if you want to satisfy your taste. Hope you will like it too!
