Recipe
Ingredients
- Beef shank
- Beef Achilles tendon
- Beef honeycomb tripe
- Thick Chinese noodles
- Suancai
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Since meat, tendon, and tripe require completely different cooking times, they undergo a very labor-intensive process of being prepped in separate pots (or staggered times).
- Thoroughly parboil tripe to remove odor, use a pressure cooker to gelatinize tendon over time, and simmer shank slowly in special soy-based Hongshao broth.
- Finally, combine all ingredients in one Hongshao broth pot to harmonize flavors.
- Serve noodles in a large bowl, arrange the three ingredients beautifully so each stands out, and pour the piping hot rich broth. Garnish generously with scallions and suancai.

Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Sanbao' means three treasures. Since you understand all of Taiwanese beef noodles in one bowl, it's the priciest but most ordered as a reward or by tourists.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] First check the broth's umami with lean meat, next enjoy the jelly texture of tendon, and finally taste the elasticity of tripe—relishing a 'beef full course' in a bowl!
