Cooking
a In a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, combine
beef, water, broth, soy sauce, rice wine,
tomato paste, ginger, spicy bean paste,
sugar, five spice powder and half of the
sliced green onions.
b Cover; cook on Low heat setting for 8 to 9
hours (or on High setting for 4 to 5 hours).
c Separate thin Chinese broccoli stems
from large stalk; discard large stalks. Cut
small stems, florets and leaves into 2-inch
pieces.
d Stir chopped Chinese broccoli into beef
mixture in slow cooker. Cover; cook about
10 minutes longer or until broccoli is crisp
tender.
e Cook and drain noodles. Rinse with cold
water; drain.
f Divide noodles among bowls; ladle
soup mixture over the noodles. Top with
remaining sliced green onions.
Tip:
For more traditional flavor, use a tablespoon
of Chinese rock sugar or yellow sugar instead
of granulated sugar and let it slowly dissolve
by itself in the slow cooker.
