4 beef noodle soup recipes

Selling beef noodle soup is serious business in Taiwan.

Competitions are held every year to pick the best shop. The winner can see business soar and will prominently display their awards in their shops.

Freshly made beef is great with these noodle soups, but they are also great for leftover roast beef, stew, grilled or barbequed.

A minimalist cook like me has no qualms adding leftovers to my simple noodle soup to jazz it up. I think this is a great time-saver, a fabulous way of using leftovers and a delicious one-dish meal.
