Рецепт Taiwanese Beef Shank Noodle Soup
The Taiwanese are famous for its beef noodle soup, they are masters in making this dish so if you are planning to travel there in the future then trying this dish must be in your to do list. I guess it’s quite obvious that the first beef noodle soup dish is invented in China specifically by the Hui people and from there different variations we created and one of this is this Taiwanese version.
It was believed that the Taiwanese style or the Red braised beef noodles was invented by the Kuomintang Sichuan Province recruits who left mainland China and migrated to Kaoshiung, Taiwan. Sometimes it is called as the “Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup” because of the origin of its creator but not because it was made there. This dish then became the most common beef noodle dish in Taiwan and it is prepared by stewing the beef for long periods of time in a stock which also was prepared even longer. Base stocks usually is made by simmering bone marrow traditionally for 24 hour period. Flavours are then added to give that spicy flavour this dish is also known for, spices like doubanjiang and five-spice powder. Then it is served in a thick style noodle perfect with the flavourful soup and more importantly the chunky meat.
Beef part used in the dish is also important usually it only uses brisket or shank only, some restaurants also use beef tendon but that the more special or expensive option. Today we will be making this using shanks and some tendons, we will also use beef marrow bones and cook it for a long time to get that amazing flavour we are after.
