- 1 large green bell pepper, seeded quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 inch fresh gingerroot, grated
- 3 -4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder (about 1/3 palmful)
- 1⁄4 cup sherry vinegar or 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 6 cups vegetable stock or 6 cups beef stock

directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
- Meanwhile, season the steak with salt, pepper and the coriander. In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat about 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, over high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 2 minutes on each side; transfer to a cutting board.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, to the skillet and add the bell peppers; cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic and five-spice powder and toss for a minute or two. Stir in the vinegar (or sherry), then add the stock and tamari and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir into the broth to thicken for a minute more. Add the steak, scallions and bean sprouts to the soup and turn off the heat.
- To serve, twist bundles of the whole wheat noodles around a fork and place in bowls. Pour in the soup and top with the cilantro.
