番茄牛肉面汤 Tomato Beef Noodle Soup

This is a delicious restaurant style Tomato Beef Noodle Soup. The broth is rich, flavorful and smooth on the tongue. The chunks of tomato and beef are tender and rich with flavor. It is a flavor experience you will never forget. The flavors of ginger, garlic, chili bean sauce, soy and rice wine marry so well with the tomato and beef. Delicious and unforgettable are the words that come to mind.

Paper thin slices of beef and onion simmered in a sweet and salty sauce flavored with rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and mirin. It is served poured over a bowl of hot rice.

This is a very rich and deeply flavorful curry that is made from scratch. I am not putting down curry roux blocks at all, they are fast, delicious and convenient. But this from scratch recipe will blow your mind.

葱爆牛肉 Frangrant Beef And Leek Stir-fry

I love the flavor of this dish, pouring the oil that fried the ginger, garlic and leeks into the marinaded beef before it is cooked really enhances the flavors. My first trial run, where the beef was fried first, was not near as flavorful. This dish can also be done with lamb instead of beef.

馕包肉 Fragrant Stew Over Naan

This is sooo delicious I can't describe it you are just going to have to try it. The flavors are so exotic yet it feels like comfort food.

Xinjiang style la mien is the spaghetti of chinese cuisine. If you can get ahold of some fresh pulled noodles that would be the most authentic but if not Japanese udon noodles are probably the best substitute.
