I have made a large pot of Chinese braised beef shank<\/a> (Lu Niurou) and I find a shortcut to assemble a beef shank noodle soup. Super easy if you have a pot of braised beef shank with the first time master stock (\u5364\u6c34).<\/p>\n

\"Beef<\/p>\n

The assembling idea comes from very famous Taiwanese beef shank noodles, with a very unique ingredients: pickled mustard green. Pickled mustard green <\/a>\u00a0(\u9178\u83dc) is a very popular side ingredients in Mainland China and also Taiwan area. It provides crunchy texture when using as topping like Gua Bao <\/a>and provides unique sour and\u00a0umami when using in soups, like Suan Cai fish slices<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
