My Mom'S Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, saute the first four ingredients in the oil for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook until just browned.

2. 2

   Add the wine, soy sauce, water, sugar, and tomato and heat to boiling. Reduce to a simmer and cook with the lid on for 2 hours.

3. 3

   About 15 minutes before the beef is done, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the pasta and cook while stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add the napa cabbage and cook for 2 more minutes. Drain off most of the water.

4. 4

   Divide the noodles and cabbage among 6 large bowls, adding a little of the excess hot water. Add the beef on top and ladle in some of the sauce, making sure to remove the star anise.
