Beef rice has paste soup and clear soup. Generally, Han people mainly cook clear soup rice, while Hui people cook paste soup rice.
The soup base of beef rice is made of beef bones, and then it is boiled together with the secret spiced powder of each family, as well as small ingredients such as tofu, vermicelli and beef. Starch is needed to thicken soup and rice, but not clear soup.
Steaming rice soup with rich ingredients is poured on the "millet" with distinct grains. A spoonful is full of fragrance, and the tip of the nose is sweaty. It's delicious.
