Bulalo Beef Mami

Bulalo Beef Mami is a version of the popular beef noodle soup dish in the Philippines that makes use of beef shank instead of the regular beef chuck. This soup dish can make you feel cozy during the cold weather. It can be eaten anytime of the day and it also goes well when paired with siopao.

The difference of Bulalo Beef Mami with the regular beef mami is its rich flavor; the shank provides additional flavor while the marrow makes the dish taste richer. For better results, make sure to simmer the beef shank longer until the meat is very tender. If in a hurry, using a pressure cooker can help you save time.

I used dried egg noodles for this recipe. I find it more convenient to stock dried noodles in my pantry compared to having frozen fresh egg noodles in the freezer. It saves me a lot of freezer space and I can keep it longer. Although thin round noodles are usually consumed for mami, using flat noodles is not a big deal. Try to use ingredients that are more convenient for you.
