1 kg. Beef meat for soup (rib, bones)
Water
Salt to taste
1 large carrot, cut in about 12 pieces
1 small onion, cut in 0.4-0.5 cm thick rings

  3. When the meat gets tender, take out and slice. Strain the soup and reheat.
  4. Season with soy sauce and add cooked noodles.
  5. Place the meat and mashed potato on a plate and serve as a main dish together with the soup.
  6. Carrot can be put back to the soup, if preferred.
