Lazy Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup

1. In a small pot, combine beef broth, tomato paste, doubanjiang, soy sauce, five-spice, MSG, garlic, and ginger.

2. Bring to a boil and let simmer while you prepare the rest.

3. In a separate pot, boil the noodles and bok choy until tender.

4. Add black vinegar to the serving bowl.

5. Place cooked noodles, bok choy, and raw thinly sliced beef in the bowl.

6. Pour hot broth over the beef — the heat will cook it instantly.

7. Top with scallions and pickled mustard greens for brightness and crunch.
