清炖 qīngdùn: A cooking method typically used for braising meats and poultry, where the ingredients are simmered in plain water with salt or other seasonings to enhance their natural flavor and retain their original taste.

Beef Noodle is a famous Taiwanese dish that consists of savory broth, tender beef, and chewy wheat noodles. The broth is often made from a combination of beef bones, vegetables, and various aromatic spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and ginger. The beef is usually stewed for hours until it becomes fall-apart tender, and the noodles are cooked separately and then added to the broth along with the beef. Beef Noodle Soup is often garnished with green onions, cilantro, and pickled mustard greens to add extra flavor and texture. It is a beloved dish in Taiwan and can be found in many restaurants and street vendors throughout the country.
