A Recipe for
Star Anise Beef-Rice Noodle Soup
“Americans are just beginning to regard food the way the French always have. Dinner is not what you do in the evening before something else. Dinner is the evening.” |
| Art Buchwald |
Chili represents your three stages of matter: solid, liquid, and eventually gas. |
| Roseanne, "Don't Make Me Over," May 1992, spoken by character Dan Conner |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

Food Tip |
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |
| Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias |
PUT GINGER, SHALLOTS AND ONION on a baking sheet; place under a hot
broiler until charred. In a stock pot, bring the water, oxtails and
beef shank to a boil. Thoroughly skim and discard the scum from the
surface of the stock. Drop the charred ingredients, star anise,
cinnamon stick and cloves into pot, reduce to low heat; simmer for 2
hours. Remove the meat. Remove and shred the meat from the shank and
reserve. Return the bone to the simmering stock. Simmer 1 hour
longer. When soup is done, remove and discard bones. Strain and
degrease stock; add fish sauce and salt. Keep warm. In a separate
pot, bring 3 quarts water to a boil. Drain noodles and add to boiling
water; cook for 1 minute. Drain in a colander. Divide noodles among 8
soup bowls (about 1-to-2-cup-size bowls). Divide and top each bowl of
noodles with shredded cooked beef, the raw sirloin steak slices,
onion slices and bean sprouts. Ladle about 1 1/4 cups hot soup stock
(this will cook the beef) to cover the noodles and beef, top with
fresh coriander and green onions. Serve with squeeze of lime and
chiles.
