This fragrant recipe for Chinese Beef Noodle Soup is a delicious, and healthy soup that makes the perfect warming meal.
Asain noodle soups are my favorite! Usually, they are quick and easy to whip up for a quick meal like my Quick and Easy Chinese Noodle Soup, but the wonderful thing about this soup is it's a slow-cooked soup that creates beautifully tender beef and a full-bodied broth that's packed full of flavor!
This soup is based on a soup by Gok Wan. Gok is well known in the UK and when I lived there, he had a TV show on Chinese cooking that changed the way I cook Chinese food.I just love the authentic flavors and amazing simplicity of his food. I have both his cookbooks (you can find them here on Amazon)(#paidlink)… It is impossible to make a bad Gok meal.
Why This Recipe Works
- The aromatic ingredients like garlic ginger, cinnamon, and star anise create a deeply flavored broth.
- Slow cooking the beef creates tender meat that can't be beat !
What Beef Is Best for Slow Cooking
When it comes to buying stewing meat, you probably think beef is beef, right? The ideal stew isn't made with lean, pricier cuts of meat. It's best to go for the less expensive, tougher cuts, that tenderize as it cooks.
I love braised & stewed beef and I adore Asian food so when I saw Gok's soup, I just had to try it. It is so full of flavor and so healthy, I could eat it every day. It's really easy to make, and the recipe calls for fragrant and simple ingredients.

Erren's Top Tips
- Don't skip browning the beef.That's where the soup starts to build its deep, rich, flavor.
- Don't take shortcuts on cooking time. Rushing the cooking time will result in beef that's tough and chewy.
- Want a Low Carb Option? Add extra beef and enjoy the beautiful flavors without the noodles.
