Cut your boneless beef shank into 2-3 inch pieces.

Then place the beef and tendon in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove the scum.

Drain and rinse with water to clean.

Prepare your vegetables. Quarter your onion, slice ginger, cut scallion whites into 3 inch segments, and crush garlic.

In a pot or wok, heat up oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger, onions, scallion whites, garlic, and dried red chilies. Stir for 1 minute.

Add sugar, chili bean sauce, tomato paste or tomatoes, option of carrots, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and Shaoxing rice wine. Stir for 2 minute until bubbles.

Add that mixture into your pressure cooker pot along with the drained beef, water, and aromatics. Add just enough water to cover the beef about 1½ - 2 liters.

Pressure cook accordingly for 45 minutes or until beef is tender. If you don't have a pressure cooker, allow this to simmer covered for at least 3 hours until the beef is completely tender.

Cook noodles in boiling water as directed

Assemble your bowl with bok choy, tender beef, broth, and green onions.

TIP: if you find there is not enough flavor in the broth, place it over the stove on high heat uncovered and let it reduce for 10-20 minutes or until you desired richness.
