Taiwanese beef noodles soup 紅燒牛肉麵

This Taiwanese beef noodle soup will surely make your tummy rumble with its umami-rich soup base and nearly melt in the mouth braised beef.  The hunger-inducing aroma is the result of the intermingling of a variety of Asian spices, aromatics, and herbs. It is hard to resist when the remarkable aroma wafts up along with the steam from the bowl. 

Taiwanese beef noodle soup 紅燒牛肉麵 is a popular staple in different countries in Asia. This Asian beef noodle soup is very similar to the Szechuan style beef noodles soup.  

Beef noodles is one of the best local food taste in Taiwan. You can get beef noodles everywhere in Taiwan. Taiwan is said to be the home of beef noodle soup, and you’ll find the world's most expensive bowl here in Taipei. But visitors don’t need to spend US$300 for a bowl, as there are beef noodle shops on practically every corner, with each serving their own special recipe. If you try only one food in Taiwan, then make it beef noodle soup.

Despite my love for Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and how simple and iconic it is, recipes always seemed incredibly complicated and intimidating to me–making the broth, figuring out the balance of infinite spices, getting that tender beef–where do you start? It was just one of those foods where, when I wanted it, I went out and paid someone else to make it, or convinced myself that I was actually craving something else.
