Mee Hoon Kueh or Pan Mee?
Whereas in Singapore, due to the heavier influence of Hokkien culture, this dish retains the name as Mee Hoon Kueh.
Types of Pan Mee
- Thin – similar to regular spaghetti size.
- Thick – much more in width, about 1cm width.
- Hand-torn – torn into flat pieces of non-uniform sheets.
Best Red Braised Beef Noodle
Red braised or “Hong Shao”, is when soy sauce is added during the process of making the soup and this red braised beef noodle soup was invented in Taiwan. I did some research to find out what makes Taiwanese Beef Soup Noodle different from the others? To my findings besides using good quality meats, they actually added a little bit of tomato sauce into the soup which makes it slightly red in color and also improves overall aroma!
In order to find out the best recipe, I actually went around asking my Taiwanese friends and they shared their family recipe with me, which I combine all of it into a master recipe below!
