Cinnamon Beef Noodles Recipes

Ingredients :

1 tsp oil

10 spring onions (scallions), cut into 4cm (1 1/2 in) lengths, lightly smashed

with the flat side of a cleaver

10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

6 slices ginger, smashed with the flat side of a cleaver

1 1/2 tsp chili bean paste (toban jiang)

2 cassia or cinnamon sticks

2 star anise

125ml light soy sauce

1kg chuck steak, trimmed and cut into 4cm cubes

250g rice stick noodles

250g baby spinach

3 tbsp finely chopped spring onion (scallion)

Method :

Heat a wok over medium heat, add the oil and heat until hot. Stir fry the spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili paste, cassia and star anise for 10 seconds, or until fragrant. Transfer to a clay pot, casserole dish or saucepan. Add the soy sauce and 2.23 liters (8 cups) water. Bring to the boil, add the beef, then return to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Skim the surface occasionally to remove impurities and fat. Remove and discard the ginger and cassia.

Soak the noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and divide among six bowls. Add the spinach to the beef and bring to the boil. Spoon the beef mixture over the noodles and sprinkle with the spring onion.

Serves 4 - 6
