Beef Noodles

Mom likes beef noodles, cooked in HER way.

Mom's beef noodles ...

But actually, it was yum.  Just that it was a lot of work.

First Mom blanched the beef and tripe and then braised them in spices and seasonings till they softened.  A lot of stuff went into the braising liquid, i.e. cinammon, star anise, cloves, pepper, ginger, spring onions, garlic and shallots, soy sauce, oyster sauce and a bit of wine. It was a slow process too, as it cooked in a clay pot for many hours over low fire.

When the beef and tripe were ready, noodles were blanched and tossed in some shallot oil, seasonings and also beef broth. Then, they were topped with thinly sliced beef, tripe and some crunchy blanched beansprouts. Mom served her noodles hot, with a chilli, ginger and garlic vinegar. They were sure tasty. Yum!!
