Ingredients
- 120 g Beef chuck, raw
- 250 g Beef broth
- 40 g Daikon radish, raw
- 100 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 190 g Water
- 0.5 g Salt

Method

- Stretch and pull the rested dough by hand into long thin noodles, or roll and cut it if pulling is tricky, then boil in a separate pot of water for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Heat the remaining oil with the dried chilies briefly to make a chili oil.
- Add the daikon radish to the simmering beef broth for the last 10 minutes of cooking until tender, and stir in the soy sauce.
- Divide the noodles into bowls, ladle over the hot broth, radish and sliced beef, and top with the garlic, scallion, cilantro and a spoonful of the chili oil.
