Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare a large pot of regular 'Hongshao' or 'Qingdun' beef noodle soup (simmering beef bones, shank, and spices for hours to make a supreme broth).
- Upon order, place boiled noodles (thin or thick to taste) in a bowl.
- From the large pot, 'avoiding the beef chunks', ladle only the umami-packed broth and pour generously over the noodles.
- For toppings, simply scatter boiled greens (bok choy or napa cabbage) and chopped green scallions. Without meat, you can directly enjoy the pure aroma of the broth and the wheat flavor of the noodles.
