Army (Canned) Beef Noodle Soup

If you crave beef noodle soup in the middle of the night, most people would probably just go for instant noodles. But don't settle for instant noodles! Those who have been to Chenggongling have probably tried the beef noodle soup made with Xin Xin canned beef. Of course, my fridge is no exception. I remember when I was in the military, this bowl was a super precious delicacy! Today, let's use simple ingredients to make this bowl. If you don't tell, people probably won't know it's made from a can, right? Let's keep watching!
Tips
Although both are instant foods, canned food is generally safer than instant noodles, and the meat chunks are more substantial. I personally find a 1:1 ratio of beef broth to canned beef just right. Of course, if you find it too bland or too salty, feel free to adjust the water amount.
Thoughts
This recipe makes two servings, costing about 50 NTD per bowl. Considering that a similar bowl of noodles usually costs over 120 NTD, this is really economical and convenient!

Beef Noodle Soup Beef Noodle Soup
Beef Noodle Soup is the perfect comfort food—warm, rich, and super satisfying. The tender shaved ribeye melts into the flavorful beef broth, and the noodles soak up all that goodness. A handful of fresh greens adds a nice touch, and if you like a little heat, some chili oil takes it to the next level. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for warming up on a chilly day—or when the AC is cranked up too high! Enjoy! Dandanyummyfood -
Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle Soup Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Being a Taiwanese person abroad, you often miss perhaps one of the most famous dishes in Taiwan--Beef Noodle Soup. While I was living in smaller communities abroad (like London, Ontario and Aachen, Germany), I often had really bad cravings for beef noodles so I searched high and low for an easy but delicious recipe of the popular dish. This recipe comes from a famous Taiwanese chef Meixian Lee (李梅仙). Even though I live in a much bigger city (Toronto) now and have access to lots of Taiwanese restaurants, I rarely find myself needing to go to them for beef noodle soup as this recipe is as good as it gets!Most of the ingredients here can be bought at your local Chinese grocer and are sometimes available in the international aisle at your regular grocer.

California Farm Northern Pho Beef Noodle Soup California Farm Northern Pho Beef Noodle Soup
Northern Pho Soup is simmered longer to extract more beef flavor from beef bones: knuckles, neck bones, rib bones, shank bones or oxtail bones and since we raise our own grassfed beef, which is flavorful but tough, we use this recipe.As farmers, I try to bring out the original fresh flavor of each ingredient, then add spice, herbs and other flavors in layers.You can buy this soup premixed in dry form, but check that it does not contain msg or ammonium costadum. I used my own ingredients, listed here, after tasting the premix. Use fresh celery leaves instead for the msg flavor, and dried white cardamon pods for the ammonium costadum. Hobby Horseman -
