Step 3 DetailPlace the blanched beef short ribs into a pressure cooker along with the leek, ginger, garlic, all spices, and a splash of light soy sauce. Cook in a pressure cooker for 1 hour, or in a regular pot for at least 1.5 hours. After cooking, season with salt and MSG to taste — add gradually in small amounts. After seasoning, simmer for a few more minutes to let the flavors penetrate the meat.

Step 4 DetailCook the noodles in boiling water for about 7–8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water twice. Toss with a little oyster sauce to season. Blanch the spinach separately and set aside.

Step 5 DetailAssemble the bowl: cooked noodles + blanched spinach + braised beef short ribs. Ladle several spoonfuls of the original beef broth over the top, and garnish with chopped scallions. Pure satisfaction!
