Beef noodle soup
Beef noodle soup is a noodle soup made of stewed or braised beef, beef broth, vegetables and noodles. It exists in various forms throughout East and Southeast Asia, with two of its most famous varieties being the red-braised beef noodle soup most common in Taiwan, and the clear-broth beef noodle soup that originates among the Hui Muslims of Lanzhou, but is popular throughout all of mainland China among all ethnicities.
One of the oldest beef noodle soups is the Lanzhou lamian (兰州拉面) or Lanzhou beef noodle soup which was created by the Hui people of northwest China during the Tang dynasty. There are numerous beef noodle soups available in China with a higher variety in the west than the east.
There is a red-braised beef noodle soup (紅燒牛肉麵) from Taiwan, which was first created by Sichuanese Kuomintang veterans; it is commonly known as Taiwanese beef noodle soup in English.
