SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP #dinner #noodle #healthyrecipes #soup #easy

It was so extraordinarily cold in the Northeast this end of the week – despite the fact that the warmth was wrenching relentless, the house despite everything felt extremely drafty! Climate like this truly causes me to want something hot, ideally soup. Hot hamburger noodle soup to be precise.

I love this Spicy Beef Noodle Soup formula in view of its effortlessness. It doesn't get any more troublesome than taking out two stock pots (and in the event that you don't have two stock pots, you can begin with a littler pot to heat up the hamburger… yet you should add bubbling water to the soup base in the bigger pot before stewing).

This progression of heating up the hamburger in advance is critical to freeing the meat of any "polluting influences." Many perusers question this progression… so we chose to really incorporate a photograph that shows what those contaminations resemble! I as a rule don't keep the water used to heat up the hamburger, however since we are making a soup base and we need all the meat flavors we can get, I chose to strain it and utilize the water for the soup. I've attempted various cuts of hamburger for this formula, yet the best I've utilized is throw – a similar sort of meat you'd use for a pot cook!

Incidentally, on the off chance that you don't care for hot food, you can make a variety of this fiery hamburger noodle soup formula utilizing normal (non-hot) bean sauce. Additionally, I utilized 2 tablespoons of Sichuan peppercorns. In case you're not very enthused about the desensitizing sensation, decrease it to 1 tablespoon.

Ingredients :

• 16 cups cold water (3.8L)
• 6 slices ginger
• 3 scallions (washed and cut in half)
• 1/4 cup Shaoxing wine
• 3 lbs beef chuck (1.3 kg, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks)
• 3 tablespoon oil
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Sichuan peppercorns
• 2 heads garlic (peeled)
• 1 large onion (cut into chunks)
• 5 star anise
• 4 bay leaves
• 1/4 cup spicy bean paste
• 1 large tomato (cut into small chunks)
• 1/2 cup light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 large piece of dried tangerine peel
• fresh or dried wheat noodles of your choice
• Chopped scallion and cilantro (to garnish)

Instructions :

1. You’ll need two large pots to make this recipe. Fill one large stock pot with 16 cups of cold water. Add the ginger, scallions, Shaoxing wine and beef chunks. Cover and bring to a boil. Immediately turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in another stock pot or large wok over medium low heat, and add the Sichuan peppercorns, garlic cloves, onion, star anise and bay leaves. Cook until the garlic cloves and onion chunks start to soften (about 5 - 10 minutes). Stir in the spicy bean paste. Then add the tomatoes and cook for two minutes. Finally, stir in the light soy sauce and sugar. Turn off the heat.
3. Now, let’s scoop out the beef, ginger, and scallions from the 1st pot and transfer them to the 2nd pot. Then, pour in the stock through a fine mesh strainer. Place the pot over high heat, and add in the tangerine peel. Cover and bring the soup to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down to a simmer, and cook for 60-90 minutes.
4. After simmering, turn off the heat, but keep the lid on, and let the pot sit on the stove (with the heat off) for another full hour to let the flavors meld together. Your soup base is done. Remember to bring the soup base to a boil again before serving. As an optional step, pick out the beef and strain the soup if you’d like to remove the spices and aromatics from the broth.
5. Cook your noodles in a separate pot according to the package instructions, and divide among your serving bowls (you can get 8 generous servings out of your pot of soup and beef). Top the bowls with hot broth, beef, scallions, and cilantro. Serve piping hot!
6. Note: If you still have leftover stock and beef, you can freeze it and reheat for future meals.
