Trivia
[For Health Conscious] A Taiwan home cooking staple, also the base for Beef Noodle soup variations (Fanqie Niurou Mian). Uses absolutely zero diet enemies like 'roux' or 'oil', composing stew purely with natural umami: tomato glutamic acid and beef inosinic acid. High protein/iron, the ultimate power meal for anemic women/dieters.
