Taiwanese Minced Beef Noodles
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 shallots minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 pound dry flour noodles
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat into small chunks.
- Add shallots and garlic and saute for 2 more minutes or until shallots are softened.
- Add chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper.
- While the sauce is resting, cook the noodles. Portion noodles into bowls and top with minced beef sauce. Sprinkle scallions and serve immediately.
Notes
I recommend using 80/20 ground beef for the best results.
If you can't find Shaoxing wine, substitute it with dry sherry.
