Recipe to try this week: Taiwanese beef noodles

Beef noodle dishes vary greatly across Asia, each with their unique flavor profile and ingredients. While I adore the fiery kick of Szechuan spicy beef noodles, my taste buds can only handle it occasionally. That's why I was delighted to discover the Taiwanese-style beef noodle dish. It's more warming than spicy, which suits my palate perfectly. Taiwanese cuisine is also renowned for being less salty and more health-conscious, adding to its appeal.

With countless beef noodle recipes out there, don't hesitate to experiment and find your favorite. The recipe that caught my attention was one that had a 'family feel' to it. There's something truly special about enjoying a meal that's made with love and has deep cultural roots.

I'm excited to announce that I've been experimenting with adapting Taiwanese beef noodles to cook in a slow cooker. Stay tuned for the results, which I'll be sharing later this week! Fingers crossed that it turns out perfectly!

UPDATE: The results are in, and I'm happy to report that this recipe worked like a charm! The aroma of the slow-cooked dish filled my kitchen, making my taste buds tingle with anticipation. However, I discovered that the cut of beef used makes a significant difference. While stewing beef didn't quite achieve the right texture, beef shin or shank with tendon added both flavor and texture to the dish, resulting in a much more enjoyable meal.

As for the spicy bean paste, I used "Lee Kum Kee Sichuan chili bean paste," which is readily available at most Chinese stores. It complemented the dish perfectly, adding just the right amount of heat to enhance the flavors.
