CHINESE CINNAMON BEEF NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cut beef chuck into 3/4 in thick chunks if you did not purchase precut stewing beef.
• Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. When very hot, add the cinnamon, scallions, garlic, ginger, anise seeds, and chile paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the water, broth, soy sauce, and vinegar; bring to boil over high heat.
• Add the meat and bring to vigorous simmer. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, partially covered, until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, checking to be sure that the soup doesn''t boil or stop simmering.
• Shortly before the soup is done, bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• When the meat is tender, remove the cinnamon sticks. Add the bok choy to the soup and simmer until the stalks are crisp-tender and the greens are very tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the noodles and let them warm through. Serve immediately, garnished with the cilantro leaves.
• I'm guessing on the serving size as I no longer follow the recipe. I use the ingredient list as a guide.

CHINESE HAND-PULLED NOODLES IN BEEF BROTH

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add beef, ginger, Szechuan peppercorns, dried tsaoko, dried mandarin peels, and bay leaves; bring soup back to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 2 hours.
• Discard whole spices. Season beef broth with salt to taste. Cover and keep warm.
• Place flour in a large bowl and gradually mix in water. Mix until dough comes together; knead until smooth, 15 to 20 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead dough again for 2 minutes; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead dough one more time for 2 minutes. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 3/8-inch-thick sheet. Brush both sides of each sheet with oil. Stack sheets together; cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add sliced daikon and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain well; set aside. Save water to cook the noodles.
• Place 1 sheet of dough on a cutting board and slice into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Take one end of a strip in each hand and stretch it until it is 30 to 35 inches long. Fold it into thirds and stretch again to the same length; shake and slap against the counter several times to lengthen it to 2 to 3 yards. Drop it into the boiling water. Add 2 to 3 more strips of noodles to the boiling water; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer drained noodles to a serving bowl.
• Repeat the process with the remaining sheets of dough. Pour beef broth on top of the drained noodles and top with cooked beef, daikon, chopped green garlic, cilantro, and chili oil.

EASY CHINESE BEEF AND NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef, in batches, and lightly brown.
• When all of the meat has browned add the red chili flakes, and then readd the meat back into the pot. Add the chicken broth, water, soy sauce and light brown sugar.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours. I usually skim the "guck" that comes to the surface the first 20 minutes.
• When ready to eat, boil the noodles in salted boiling water until tender. Drain.
• Add the cooked noodles to the soup, add the salt and garnish with the green onions. (I sometimes add a little bit of garlic powder to the soup while I'm waiting for the noodles to cook.
• Serve at once.
• If you don't want the noodles to eventually drink up all of the broth, do not add the noodles to the soup. Instead, put the desired amount of noodles in the bottom of each soup bowl and cover with the soup.
