Recipe 🍳
- Cut the green onion into large diagonal pieces and cut the garlic chives into bite-size lengths.

- Separate the beef with chopsticks as it cooks, and sauté until the savory beef fat renders out.

- Once the broth comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon tuna sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic.
- Skim off the foam cleanly with a spoon and simmer for about 5 more minutes to deepen the broth.
- Taste the broth, then season with 0.3 tablespoon salt or adjust to your preference.
- Add the green onion and pre-soaked glass noodles, then boil briefly until the noodles turn translucent.
- Finish with garlic chives, turn off the heat, and serve in a bowl.
- Sauté thinly sliced beef short plate until lightly browned, then add water and bring it to a boil.
- Season with oyster sauce, tuna sauce, mirin, and minced garlic, skimming off foam as the broth cooks.
- Adjust with salt, then add green onion, glass noodles, and garlic chives to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Thinly sliced beef short plate releases plenty of fat, so use only enough cooking oil to keep the meat from sticking to the pot at the beginning.
- Skim off foam and excess oil carefully as the soup boils so the broth tastes clean rather than heavy.
- Soak the glass noodles well in warm water before cooking so they do not absorb too much broth in the pot.
