CHINESE CINNAMON BEEF NOODLE SOUP



Chinese Cinnamon Beef Noodle Soup image

This was published in a Fine Cooking magazine a couple of years ago. I was so excited to have found a relatively easy yet very flavorful noodle soup for my family. My husband (the ultimate food critic) loves this and doesn't mind eating it for days. He says it reminds him of when he was in Taiwan. High praise, indeed! Packaged stewing beef is often made up of irregularly shaped pieces from different cuts, so I cut my own stew meat using a boneless chuck roast or two 3/4 inch thick chuck steaks.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cinnamon sticks (about 3 inches each)
6 scallions, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
6 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons asian chili paste
7 cups water
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck
9 ounces fresh udon noodles (or 6 ounces dried)
1 1/2 lbs bok choy
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

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.

1 cinnamon stick
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
8 ounces thin rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
4 ounces shaved beef
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 jalapeno, sliced thin (seeds and ribs can be scooped out)
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a very light simmer in a large pot, then add the beef base, fish sauce, hoisin, scallion halves, ginger, cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes.

PHO BO: VIETNAMESE BEEF NOODLE SOUP



Pho Bo: Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup image

Pho is a classic Vietnamese noodle soup, supposedly invented in Hanoi in the early 20th century. With this dish, everything's about the broth-if you don't have the right broth, you don't have the dish. Reprinted with permission from "Vietnamese Home Cooking," by Charles Phan. Published by Ten Speed Press.

Time 7h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 pounds oxtails, cut in 2- to 3-inch pieces
2 pounds beef neck bones
2 pounds beef shank bones
8 quarts water
1 large yellow onion, unpeeled
1 3-inch piece fresh ginger
1 3-inch piece Chinese cinnamon
2 pods whole star anise
2 whole cloves
1 pod black cardamom
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 ounce light brown palm sugar, or 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
Salt to taste
1 pound beef brisket
12 ounces beef top round, thinly sliced
3 quarts beef stock
Fish sauce, for seasoning
1 pound dried rice noodles
1 bunch Scallions, thinly sliced, about 1 cup
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Mung bean sprouts
Thai basil sprigs
Lime wedges
Jalapeño chiles, stemmed and thinly sliced into rings
???Sriracha sauce
Hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • For the beef stock: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the oxtails, neck bones, and shank bones. Return the water to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Drain into colander and rinse the bones thoroughly under cold running water. Rinse the pot and return the oxtails, neck bones, and shank bones to the pot. Add water, slowly bring to a simmer, and cook for at least 6 hours. Meanwhile, roast the onion and ginger on a rimmed baking sheet for 40 minutes.
  • Add the roasted onion and ginger to the simmering stock, along with the cinnamon, star anise, clove, cardamom pod, pepper, and palm sugar. Add the beef brisket and cook for 30-45 minutes; remove and allow the stock to continue to simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the top. After 6-8 hours, remove pot from the heat and use a slotted spoon to discard the large solids. Strain the stock into soup pot through a fine-mesh sieve. (Note: To store, let cool completely; then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Makes 6 quarts.)
  • For the soup: Thinly slice the top round and use the back of your knife to tenderize the meat slices; set aside. Slice the cooked brisket against the grain in thin slices; set aside. Blanch the bean sprouts in hot water; set aside. Season the stock with a few pinches of salt and fish sauce to taste.
  • Warm a serving bowl in hot water. Place the dried rice noodles in fine-mesh sieve; submerge the sieve in hot water and gently stir with tongs, 5-10 seconds. Place the cooked noodles in the warmed serving bowl. Top with brisket; then add a few slices of the top round and some chopped scallions and cilantro. Ladle the hot broth into the bowl, being careful not to submerge the top round. Serve immediately, accompanied by optional garnishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. The best cuts for beef noodle soup are those with a good amount of marbling, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly in the soup.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and create a richer broth.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. The broth is the foundation of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use store-bought beef broth or make your own.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables not only add flavor and nutrition to the soup, but they also help to thicken the broth.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. The noodles should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for beef noodle soup include green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, and chili oil.

Conclusion:

Beef noodle soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a bowl of beef noodle soup that is sure to impress your family and friends.
