Preparation:
This chili-red soup is exceptionally hot. It is said
that the time to serve it is in the hottest months,
when the perspiration it induces has a cooling effect
on the diner. It is equally effective ammunition
against winter cold.
Cut the beef into cubes and place in a saucepan with
the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and
simmer gently for 1-1/2 to 2 hours until the meat is
falling apart.
Mix the chili powder with the sesame oil. Trim and
shred the green onions. Heat the chili powder and
sesame oil in a pan and fry the green onions with the
garlic for 2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds, sugar,
pepper and soy sauce and fry for 2 to 3 minutes over
medium heat.
Lift out the meat, drain well and toss in the pan for
a few minutes. Return the contents of the pan to the
stock and bring to a boil, simmering until the soup is
well flavored. |
