Yakamein (New Orleans Noodle Soup)
- For the soup:
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds boneless chuck roast
- 8 to 9 cups water
- 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 1/2 to 2/3 cups soy sauce, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup, plus more for topping if you like
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce, plus more to taste
- 1 pound spaghetti (ramen, or udon), cooked according to package directions
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced
- 1 bunch parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, cut in half
- For the Creole seasoning:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Place the beef roast in a large stockpot. Cover with water, and then add the Creole seasoning. Place over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender. Remove the beef to a large bowl and allow the beef and stock to cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove beef from stock and shred or chop the cooled meat, removing and discarding any large chunks of fat. Skim the fat from the top of the stock. Add the soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the stock, tasting as you go and adjusting the seasonings if needed. Once you're ready to serve, reheat the skimmed stock over medium heat until simmering.
- To serve, divide the spaghetti and meat among 10 bowls. Top each with scallions and half an egg, then ladle some stock over the top. Garnish with a handful of chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve with hot sauce, ketchup, and/or soy sauce.
- Combine all ingredients together until well combined. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
