Notes:
*Boneless beef shank (牛腱肉) appears to be a Chinese cut of meat. When
cooked it balls up to resemble some sort of internal organ.
Other beef cuts with a bit of fat and plenty of connective
tissue (the sight of tendon is a good sign when it comes to
this dish), like rib meat, shank or chuck are fine too. Cut
into small chunks and cook for 2 hours. Most plain-flavoured Chinese
noodles are suitable, but thin, round noodles are most common
for this dish in Taiwan. The vegetables from the stock can
be eaten separately.
