Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tsp oil
10 scallions, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces, lightly smashed with the flat side of a cleaver
10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
6 slices of ginger, smashed with the flat side of a cleaver
1 1/2 teaspoons chili bean paste (toban jiang)
2 cassia or cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
1/2 cup light soy sauce
2 lbs check steak, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 lb rice stick noodles
1/2 lb baby spinach
3 tbs finely chopped scallion

  • Heat wok over medium heat, add oil and heat till hot. Stir-fry scallions, garlic, ginger, chili bean paste, cassia and star anise for 10 seconds or until fragrant.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until beef is very tender. Skim the surface occasionally to remove fat. Remove and discard ginger and cassia. Soak noodles in hot water for 10 minutes then drain and divide among 6 bowls. Add the spinach to the beef and bring to a boil.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavors were all there and the beef was cooked well. I would recommend this recipe to others who enjoy spicy food.

This soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the beef was tender. I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and it turned out great. I'll definitely be making this again.
