I grew up with snack beef noodles and often communicate and learn from masters in this industry. I have been brewing this recipe for a long time, but due to time constraints, I haven't started writing it yet. I have read all the recipes for Lanzhou beef noodles online, and using these methods is absolutely impossible to make the right Lanzhou beef noodles. This is also normal, even in ordinary households in Lanzhou, few people can do it! Lanzhou beef noodles are not simply stewed in a pot of beef, just add some stewed meat soup and some radishes, garlic sprouts, cilantro, and so on! Soup is the essence of Lanzhou beef noodles, and Lanzhou beef noodle soup is not pure meat soup. Meat soup only accounts for about 40-50% of the proportion, and the soup mixing process is complex. My recipe is slightly simplified compared to the noodle shop's recipe, but it still takes a long time to make, and the food is destined to be waited for! Following this method ensures that you can make beef noodles with Lanzhou flavor in a relatively simple way at home. Friends can communicate with me anytime if you have any questions during the production process! If you want to operate Lanzhou beef noodles in another city, this method is also applicable, but the production process needs to be refined. Interested friends can also communicate with me. As for Lamian Noodles, it's not easy to learn, including most Lamian Noodles pullers in Lanzhou are not up to standard in technology. They pull out uneven in thickness and width, not to mention hollow noodles! So everyone can use machine faces instead, and the selection of machine faces is also very important. I will explain it in detail below. Alright, let's start with me!

Steps to make Teach you how to make a real bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles

1. Rinse the beef stick bones thoroughly and place them at the bottom of the pot, so that the meat won't stick to the bottom of the pot. Let the meat seller chop the stick bones open for you. I made this with a bone saw machine, isn't it good?![]()
2. Rinse the beef thoroughly and place it on top of the skewers. I have chosen beef breast meat (called breast fork in Lanzhou dialect) and the front half of the beef ribs (called front sandwiched meat in Lanzhou). These two parts of the meat have fat and tendons, and the soup is very fresh when cooked. If you don't have such a choice, you can use beef brisket or a little fat beef!![]()
3. This is beef breast meat (called breast fork in Lanzhou dialect), which is a masterpiece in Lanzhou beef noodles!![]()
4. Soak the beef in clean water for 4 hours. If the time is tight, it can be soaked for 2-3 hours. Basically, change the water every 1.5-2 hours. The recipe in the noodle shop is to keep the blood and water, so let's skip this step when making it at home! The picture shows pre brewed beef, which should be soaked until the meat turns white! This is very important!![]()
5. Put the soaked beef on the grate to control the moisture content. In the early stage of processing, the meat must go through four steps: one rinse, two washes, three steeps, and four controls. You cannot save a single step!![]()
6. Once the meat is well controlled, it can be boiled in a pot with cold water. Be sure to use cold water! As the heating process progresses, you will gradually see dirty blood foam floating out. Patiently beat off the foam until the soup is clear![]()
7. Add ginger slices and seasoning packets![]()
8. Place a plate on top of the meat and let it soak in the soup. Start stewing and add salt after an hour! The cooking time for meat varies from place to place at different altitudes. Generally, it takes about 3 hours, and after about an hour, it should be flipped over to ensure that the seasoning package evenly adds flavor to the meat![]()
9. While cooking the meat, boil the seasoning water on top. Take an appropriate amount of Lanzhou beef noodle soup, add water to the pot, simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, clear off heat, and set aside for use (add more water, otherwise it will dry up for a long time)![]()
10. After cooking the meat, remove it and hang it on a plate. Cook the meat until chopsticks can easily pierce through it. Set aside the meat soup![]()
11. Beat out the butter from the broth and set it aside for later use![]()
12. Cut the radish into square pieces, boil them in clean water until transparent, and soak them in cold water for later use![]()
13. Cut the garlic sprouts in the middle and chop them into small pieces with coriander for later use![]()
14. Mix ginger and garlic with water and use a blender to make ginger and garlic juice![]()
15. Now start mixing the soup. Add meat soup (about 40% of the entire pot) to the pot, then add seasoning water (only pour in the clarified part on top, do not leave any residue) and water. Bring to a boil and turn to low heat![]()
16. After boiling the soup, add carrot slices, butter, and ginger garlic juice, then add salt and chicken essence. Look at the pot soup, how beautiful!![]()
17. You can choose to use machine noodles. The fine noodles must be cylindrical (as shown in the figure). The taste of that kind of noodles is wrong. Of course, you can also choose wide leek leaves. When cooking noodles, you can add some edible alkali, and the noodles will have the taste of Lanzhou beef noodles. The main ingredients of commonly used Lamian Noodles agents are actually salt and alkali!![]()
After cooking the noodles, remove them and add soup. Place garlic sprouts, coriander, and diced meat on top, and you can start eating!
