taiwan.style.beef.noodle

he started with braising beef brisket recently, that idea of him trigger you to make it into taiwanese style beef noodles.

in search for a perfect recipe and follow your own instinct and try to recall the taste of the broth, you concluded with these spices

and the second version is  much closer to the one that you tasted before in taiwan, if something that is missing then it's the deliberate omission of the szechuan pepper since that will turn the soup a tad too spicy for him.
so for now you're happy with this ^^
