Soak the glass noodles in cold water, then cut into 3 cm long sections. Remove the dry peel from the lemongrass and cut the rest into fine rolls.
Put the oil in a pan, 1 drop of water should sizzle in it. Fry the meat together with the lemongrass for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Add paprika and fry for another 2 minutes, deglaze with soy sauce, chicken stock and 800 ml water. Bring to the boil and add celery, lovage, tabasco, carrots and pasta. Let it steep for another 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
