This is a classic dish that is very popular in China and Taiwan. This is my version of it after eating it at many restaurants and making it a few times from others' recipes. This is a huge batch, intended to be frozen for many happy meals in the future :)

There were fat noodle and beef in my fridge at 7pm on a Wednesday, so why not?

Originally included 8oz sliced mushrooms but I replaced them with the jalapeños since I'm allergic and love a kick in taste.

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!

Really missing beef noodles from Taiwan, so I made my own beef noodles bowl:PBelow recipe suit 1-2 people

Vietnamese beef noodle soup

Based upon recipe my wife found in Family Circle magazine

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.

The important components to the tastiest pot of beef & noodles are the rich broth, the right noodles, and low, slow cooking.NOTES:The broth ingredients may sound a bit odd, but trust me; it'll be SO flavorful! The addition of the red wine vinegar makes salt unnecessary....DON'T add salt!....and it tenderizes the beef. There won't be any vinegar flavor in the finished dish.Cut your stew beef pieces in fourths. You want them smaller for more uniform distribution with the noodles.DON'T substitute a different brand noodle. Reames frozen noodles are thick and chewy, hold up well to my slow cooking method (and when leftovers are reheated), and they add the perfect creamyness to the broth.

Here is a relatively easy and tasty dish. A good weekday dinner.Just watch the salt levels, it can overwhelm if you are not careful.If you don't have dark soy sauce, just leave it out. If you don't have sesame oil, just leave it out.I had regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, but used low sodium chicken broth.I added no salt to the beef.
