Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrots, red bell pepper, and green beans to the pot. Sauté for 7-8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Return the cooked beef to the pot and add the chopped tomatoes and shredded cabbage.
Stir in the soy sauce, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the vegetables are tender.
While the stew is simmering, cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Once the stew is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
To serve, place a portion of cooked noodles in a bowl, and ladle the beef and vegetable stew over the top.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately.
