2 cups beef stock                                       (I use my home made stuff for this)
couple paper thin slices of rib roast or tender cut beef
organic soy sauce, tamari or shoyu              (can buy in bulk at good health food store)
fresh ginger                                                (optional and highly questionable for our type)
pinch of stevia                                            (optional; adds the touch of sweetness usually included in teriyaki sauces)
or splash of rice wine vinegar                       (optional: adds sweetness and the tang often in Japanese broths)
splash of sesame oil                                   (optional but very very yummy!  I use Eden organic raw seasame oil)
handful of kelp noodles : www.kelpnoodles.com  (I buy these at my organic community store)
sliced mushrooms
 
Heat broth to a medium heat;(add optional seasonings to broth to taste) 
add thin sliced beef and simmer briefly (beef will turn grey/white)
add mushrooms
add handful of kelp noodles
 
Simmer until mushrooms are lightly cooked and noodles are soft not rubbery = 1 or 2 minutes max. (These taste identical to the little thin rice noodles traditionally used in Sukiyaki)
Pour into a beautiful bowl.
Sit down and enjoy this meal. 
It is so soothing on a cold, rainy night.
 
Glen: need your opinion/advice on Kelp in general for us High Purine types.  The other MT literature I've read indicates kelp is really helpful to us.  Anyway, these noodles are made out of water, kelp and sodium alginate.  They are awesome.

Suzanne,

I would say that the kelp itself would not be a problem but I do question the processing to make it into a noodle.  Many of the foods that we eat are not a problem as a whole food but create problems after processing.  I have to say that this does still sound like a good recipe but I would only use it on occasion for individuals that have reached a state of good health.  Not to be recommended for protein types that are experiencing health challenges.

Good Health,

Glen Depke, ND

Glen...

You raise an excellent point.  No matter how short that ingredient list is, these are processed food.  I often look at these noodles and wonder how they make them!  ACH!  That should have been a warning sign for me. 

Thanks!

Suzanne
