  • In a small pot, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and quickly stir-fry the beef for 1 minute. When the beef turns pale, immediately transfer to the bowl.

  • Add 1 liter water (4 cups) to the pot and bring to a boil. (You can also use 1 part water and 1 part chicken broth to make the soup more hearty). When it boils, skim off the foam and season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp chicken stock. Have a taste and add a little bit fish sauce if needed. Then add the greens and bring the soup to a boil again.
