With over 60 years of history, Gang Yuan has been serving their signature beef noodles long enough to perfect every aspect of the dish. What makes them unique is their dry tossed noodle option - instead of the traditional soup, you can get your noodles tossed in their special savory sauce with chunks of tender stewed roast beef on top. The beef is braised until it's fall-apart tender, with a rich, slightly sweet flavor from hours of slow cooking. The dry version lets you really appreciate the texture of the noodles and the concentrated flavor of the sauce without soup diluting anything. Of course, they also serve excellent traditional beef noodle soup, but the dry version is what many regulars order. It's a family business that's stood the test of time by maintaining quality and never cutting corners.

Beef Noodle Soup

Beef noodle soup is a Chinese and Taiwanese noodle soup made of stewed or red braised beef, beef broth, vegetables and Chinese noodles. There are two common variations of beef noodle which differ in the way the broth is prepared. When soy sauce is added, the soup is called red roasted or braised beef noodles (紅燒牛肉麵). Braised beef noodles was reputedly invented by KMT's Sichuan Province recruits who fled from mainland China to Kaoshiung, Taiwan. Therefore, it is sometimes (misleadingly) referred to as "Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup" (四川牛肉麵). The red braised beef noodles is the most common type of beef noodle in Taiwan. The beef is often stewed with the broth and simmered, sometimes for hours. Chefs also let the stock simmer for long periods of time with bone marrow; some vendors can cook the beef stock for over 24 hours. This type of beef noodle tends to be spicy because doubanjiang and five-spice powder are sometimes added. However, the broth may also have a sweeter taste if the fat from the beef is simmered. There are several variations with the soy-based broth, such as spicy, tomato, garlic, and herbal medicine. The tomato variation (番茄牛肉麵) is popular in Taiwan and features chunks of tomatoes in a rich red-coloured soy-tomato broth.
