Beef Soup With Noodles

How Do You Make Beef soup with noodles?

Beef soup with noodles (红烧 牛肉 面) is a popular dish throughout China, but also in other South Asian countries. Of course, each region has its interpretation. Sometimes with sometimes without soy sauce, spicy / not spicy, sometimes with thin beef slices with pieces … the variations are endless.

But they have one thing in common. They are pure soul food! I can still remember a small restaurant (Kau Kee) in Hong Kong that specialized in these beef soups. OMG was right there! When I think back on it, I get goosebumps.

Beef Soup With Noodles

I have a variant for you today that you can use due to some ingredients, such as Doubanjiang, Szechuan pepper, cinnamon, star anise, garlic, chili, laurel, could more likely be located in the province of Sichuan. I like it when dishes have power.

The main attraction, besides the soup, is the hand-drawn noodles, which are amazingly easy to make. The most important thing here is that the dough is kneaded well and given time to make it elastic enough. Then pulling is the easiest.

Well, I’m talking about pulled pasta hereIt’s different from mei fun. Not by the pasta masters who swing and pull from a piece of dough suddenly making hundreds of pasta. Maybe that will come later.
