做法
- 牛腱与牛骨用沸水焯 5 分钟。捞出冲净——这样汤底才清。
- 厚底锅中火热油,下豆瓣酱炒 3 分钟——油应当染成深红,豆瓣酱透出焙烤香气。
- 下大蒜、姜、葱、八角、肉桂、丁香和花椒煸 90 秒。
- 下焯过的牛腱翻拌裹味。倒入绍兴酒,让它沸腾 30 秒。加老抽、生抽、冰糖和番茄瓣。
- 倒入 3 升水,连同牛骨。煮至小开,盖盖以最小火炖 2.5 小时。牛腱应可用叉子轻易插入,汤色深琥珀、略带油花。
- 捞出牛腱切 1 厘米厚片。汤底用细筛过滤。面单独用清水煮到刚熟。小白菜在汤里焯 30 秒。把面盛入大碗,浇上热汤,铺上牛腱片、青菜与酸菜。酸菜不可省——少了它,这碗面就少了那一口扎实的酸香对位。

文化背景
牛肉面是台湾的标志性美食——1949 年后,跟随国民党迁台的四川老兵把川式牛肉炖菜改良成本地版本。台北从 2005 年开始每年举办『牛肉面节』;全市有数百家专门店。红烧风格(川台合流)是它最经典的样貌,清炖派也存在。顶上的酸菜是不能少的——它解腻,也带来发酵的香气。
