Method:

Cut the beef, onion and carrot into 1cm cubes. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Fry the meat and vegetables until the meat is crispy on the outside. Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent the meat sticking and burning.

Add salt to taste. Stir in the tomato paste. Pour over the just-boiled water until you have the desired amount of liquid, around 6-7 cups depending how thick you like your soup and how many you plan on serving.

Add in the mung beans straight after adding the water. Reduce to low heat. Add the peppercorns and bay leaves.

Simmer the soup until the beans start to open up.

Cut one potato into even cubes and add with the rice to the soup.

When the potato is cooked, the soup is ready.

Serving
Serve with a tablespoon of sour cream or mayonnaise.
