Clean-Eatin' Asian-Style Soup

As some of you know, competition dieting can get pretty boring so it helps to be a bit creative in the kitchen.  Here is a new Pam-creation that is right on point for my diet, and can be adjusted to add more, less or no carbs. 



5 oz raw lean beef, such as flank steak or inside round
1 1/2 c water
One clove garlic, minced
1 tsp minced ginger
3-4 drops fish sauce
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp thai seasoning (or 1/2 tsp chinese 5-spice)
Red pepper flakes, to taste
1 green onion, cut on the bias
2-3 heads baby bok choy, coarsley chopped
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1/2 c cooked brown rice (soba or glass noodles work well, too)
Sriracha sauce to taste
Cilantro to taste

Cut beef into very thin strip.  Add to medium saucepan with water, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, red pepper flakes and thai seasoning.  Bring to boil, cover and simmer about 10 mins.  Add green onion and celery.  Simmer 3 mins.  Add bok choy and cooked rice.  Simmer two more mins.  Place in bowl and add srirachi sauce and fresh cilantro to taste.

Makes one very large serving, or two smaller ones. Enjoy!
