- Beef Brisket Noodles is a representative comfort food from Hong Kong, featuring tender beef brisket and springy noodles impeccably intertwined in a clear beef bone broth. This dish was brought to Hong Kong by Cantonese immigrants in the 19th century and has evolved into its modern version. The flavor of the ingredients is concentrated by simmering the broth for a long time, and the beef is cooked until it reaches a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, making it a satisfying meal. The chewy texture of the noodles is another key attraction, and achieving the perfect cooking time is crucial to enhance this feature. One can enjoy a simple yet rich flavor by carefully simmering the local ingredients. It is said that hungry British tourists often exclaim, "So filling!" in contrast to the original taste. However, the author of this gourmet blog seems to have used that "fullness" in romance, ending up with a heart full instead of a stomach. Ah, when will love be simmered to perfection like a well-cooked dish?
