簡單美味清湯牛肉河粉 Simple and Delicious Beef Rice Noodles

我們大家都愛吃麵。如果你想吃得健康卻沒有很多時間下廚的話，煮麵就是最理想不過的選擇了。

可是很多時候，當肚子餓了，需要一頓簡易、美味而富營養的快餐那一刻，也不是每個人會下意識地想起要下些麵來充飢。

但為甚麼不會呢？

We're all wild about noodles. They are perfect if you are trying to eat a little more healthily but don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

However, it seems that noodles are not the first thing many people think of when they are hungry and are in need of a tasty and quick meal.

But why not?

其實只要把麵或河粉放進美味的湯液中，配點新鮮蔬菜、海鮮或肉片，前後只需 15 分鐘時間，一碗色香味全，熱呼呼的湯麵便被端到桌上！

它們不但好吃，還非常健康；又是豐富的複合式碳水化合物，低脂肪和不含添加劑。

Noodles and a delicious broth served with some fresh vegetables, seafood or meat is an enjoyable, simple and stylish to serve meal which is ready to eat in just fifteen minutes!

And they're nothing if not healthy; high in complex carbohydrates, low in fat and essentially free of additives.

除此之外，一碗麵給人的感覺是那麼的清爽 ; 吃後讓人感到滿足和精力充沛。

我們已很久沒有吃牛肉了，前幾天老公說想吃牛肉麵，我姑念他很勤力的替我把花園收拾整齊，便給他煮一大碗讓他吃個痛快。

不喜歡或不吃牛肉的朋友可以用雞肉或豬肉代替。

What's more, they are also refreshing, invigorating and satisfying.

We haven't been eating a lot of beef lately, so I treated my husband to a big bowl of beef noodle soup for lunch the other day, since he has been doing lots of work in the garden for me!

You can easily substitute the beef for chicken or pork, if you prefer.
