Economical beef and rice noodle soup with a dash of creativity.
Ingredients:
  • 800g beef chuck steak
  • 125ml shao hsing wine
  • 60ml soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 strips orange peel
  • 5cm piece ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 star anise
  • 1000.00 ml (1 litre) chicken consomme
  • 42.00 gm light soy sauce
  • 50g yellow rock sugar (see Notes)
  • 1 bunch choy sum, coarsely chopped
  • 200g fresh rice noodle sheets, cut into 3cm strips
  • 4 green onions, trimmed, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix together the beef, wine, dark soy sauce, onion, garlic, orange peel, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
  • Pour the beef mixture into a large wok or saucepan. Stir in the chicken consomme, light soy sauce, and sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours until the beef is tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a large bowl, shred it with 2 forks, and return it to the soup along with the choy sum. Take it off the heat.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, place the rice noodles and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 5 minutes, then drain well.
  • Portion out the noodles evenly into serving bowls, then pour the flavorful soup over them. Garnish with fresh green onions and fragrant coriander leaves before serving right away.
