Add shallots, garlic and ginger to the remaining hot oil and stir-fry for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add mushrooms, beef, curry paste or chili paste and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until meat has lost its pink color. Add beef mixture, uncooked noodles, soy sauce and fish sauce to the pan of beef stock and let simmer for about 3 minutes or until the noodles are soft. Transfer to soup bowls and garnish with reserved cooked rice noodles and cilantro. Serve immediately.
