Beef Noodle Soup image

This is a northern Chinese dish. It comes from Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery published in 1984, one of the Chinese Cook books I like to use. All the recipes come out. I intend to cook this in my slow cooker for a starter at a Chinese dinner party. Use a really cheap cut of meat for this, good cuts of meat will have insufficient flavor and will be too dry.
