 Beef noodle soup!! Mmmm love this tasty dish so much! Made with red braised beef 🤤 then with noodles and veggies added!




Ingredients

Red Braised Beef

1 lb beef shank, cut into 2-inch chunks

4 cloves of garlic, smashed

1/2 inch of ginger, thinly sliced

2 scallions, cut in to 2 inch length

2 tbsp chili bean paste (aka doubanjiang)

1/2cup soy sauce

1/2 tbsp brown sugar

Salt, as desired

1 large tomato, cut in to wedges, or a cup of cherry tomatoes

3 tbsp rice wine

5 star anise

Noodle Soup (serves 4)

12 oz of noodle of choice

4 eggs

2 cups Greens of choice (I recommend Bok Choy)

Beef or bone broth, as needed to dilute soup

Optional Garnish:

Scallion, chopped

Cilantro, chopped

Red chili oil or sauce, as desired

Pickled green mustard (酸菜)

Instructions


1. First thing we’re going to do is blanch the beef chunks. Heat up a pot of water, and once    the water is boiling, add the beef to the water. As soon as it is pretty much mostly looking brown on the outside, remove from the water. Remove from heat.

2. Now heat a wok or cooking pan to medium high heat, ginger, and add scallions and garlic to the pan for about a minute.

3. Then add the chili bean paste. Heat for another minute.

4. Add the chunks of blanched beef in to the pan. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, and then add tomatoes. Add 1/4 soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice wine. Cook another 2 minutes.

5. Transfer to a medium sized pot. Add enough water to cover the beef in the pot. Bring to a boil, and then add star anise and salt as desired. Add remaining 1/2 cup of soy sauce.

6. Lower the heat and cover and let simmer for about 2 hours to 2.5 hours, or until desired tenderness.

7. Remove from heat and set aside and we will move on to the noodles.

8. Cook noodles according to the package instructions. This usually consists of boiling a pot of water and adding the noodles, and then adding water to cook it completely. However, each type of noodle cooks differently so follow the instructions!

9. When the noodles are cooked, remove the noodles from the water.

10. Here, you can customize what you like in your beef noodle soup. As an example, to add bok choy and egg, you'd add the bok choy to the boiling water and an egg to cook for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.

11. In a bowl, add noodles, bok choy, poached egg, and red braised beef (including beef, broth and tomatoes). You can also add extra chicken broth to dilute the braised beef sauce/broth if it is too thick. Also, add scallions, cilantro, pickled green mustard, and red chili oil/sauce as desired and serve!
