Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup | Marion's Kitchen

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, spring onions and chillies. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the onions have softened but not coloured. Add the doubanjiang and stir-fry for another minute. Then stir through the tomatoes and the brown sugar. Now add the dark soy sauce, soy sauce, Chinese wine and the star anise. Add the beef and mix to combine. Transfer the mixture into the pot of a pressure cooker. Add the beef stock and 2 cups of water. Mix to combine. Secure the lid and pressure cook on high for 40 minutes.

Release the pressure from the pressure cooker and when it’s safe, remove the lid. Use a spoon to scoop off most of the excess fat from the top of the soup. Then remove the ginger slices and the star anise. Taste the soup and add more salt to your taste.

Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Top with bok choy and chunks of beef. Ladle over the soup. And sprinkle over the spring onion and coriander.
