Taiwanese Beef Soup
I’m craving some delicious Taiwanese beef soup, but there’s a small problem—I don’t have any beef and I’m not the biggest fan of it either! 😂 Are there any great substitutes out there, or is beef the essential ingredient for this dish?
You can definitely substitute beef in Taiwanese beef soup! Some great alternatives are:
Chicken: Use chicken thighs or drumsticks for a flavorful broth. You can simmer them with similar spices to get that rich taste.
Pork: Braised pork or pork belly can add a nice depth of flavor while still complementing the traditional spices used in the soup.
Mushrooms: For a vegetarian option, mushrooms like shiitake or portobello can provide a hearty texture and umami flavor.
Tofu: Firm tofu can soak up the broth’s flavors and make for a satisfying and protein-rich option.
Seitan: If you’re looking for a meat alternative, seitan has a chewy texture that resembles beef and works well in soups.
Adjust the cooking time according to your ingredient choice, and you should end up with a delicious soup that fits your taste! Happy cooking!
