Beef Noodle Soup
Taiwan
Every city district in Taipei claims the best. The annual Taipei Beef Noodle Festival draws competitive chefs.
Taiwan's most iconic dish — braised beef shank in a rich soy and spice broth over thick wheat noodles. Introduced by mainland Chinese soldiers in the 1940s and made Taiwan's own.
