Beef and beef-offal noodles are a signature breakfast of Xiangyang in northwestern Hubei. Local sources describe both strongly seasoned red broth and lighter broth styles.
The bowl is commonly built from alkaline noodles, bean sprouts and braised beef or offal. Its spicy, numbing profile distinguishes it from many clear beef-noodle soups elsewhere in China.
