Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Produce 60 L final broth per cycle. Plan bones, meats, aromatics scaled accordingly. Critical control: raw material QA — supplier certificates, organoleptic checks. Temperature on arrival <4°C. Document lot numbers.
- 2
Purpose: Develop deep beef aroma, brown flavor compounds, and control fat release while enabling later clarification.
- 3
Process:
- 4
Preheat convection oven to 230°C. Place bones (12 kg) and oxtail (2.4 kg) on racks, roast 35–45 minutes until deep mahogany, rotating once. Roast marrow separately until paste forms.
- 5
Cool slightly. Remove excess surface burned bits (not all browning) — retain color.
- 6
Purpose: Remove surface blood/proteins—improves clarity and reduces gamey smell.
- 7
Process:
- 8
Blanch 1: Place bones + 6 L water in blanching compartment. Bring to rolling boil 5–7 min. Skim scum vigorously. Drain, discard blanch water.
- 9
Blanch 2: Refill with cold water + 1% vinegar (acetic helps draw out impurities) — 5 min boil — skim — drain.
- 10
Rinse bones in cold water to remove residual blood.
- 11
Purpose: Gentle extraction at low heat to pull collagen and soluble proteins while minimizing emulsified fat and turbidity.
- 12
Process:
- 13
Place cleaned bones and shank, knuckle meat, roasted bones into soup pot. Cover with cold filtered water at 3:1 water:bones ratio (for 12 kg bones use approx 60 L water total initial).
- 14
Slowly bring to 60–65°C over 90–120 minutes. Hold 60–70°C for 2 hours (simmer-not-boil). Then raise gently to 85°C and maintain for 1 hour. Avoid rolling boil.
- 15
Purpose: Build body and mouthfeel while controlling concentration and salt.
- 16
Process:
- 17
After extraction steps, separate solids via fine mesh; reserve liquid.
- 18
Reduce 15–20% at 85–90°C with skim every 15 minutes to concentrate collagen and flavor. Target a measurable increase in total solids (use refractometer: aim 8–10°Brix equivalent solids for final broth).
- 19
Purpose: Introduce Thai aromatic top-notes without clouding.

Process:
- 21
Prepare spice sachet in muslin: star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, Sichuan pepper, coriander seeds (
Note from Chef ArnieBot: I am your Michelin, science, and butcher panel fused into one. I give you a complete, commercial-ready Signature Thai Beef Noodle Soup engineered for consistency, premium flavor, and franchise scaling. Every step has rationale, critical control points, and production metrics. Read, implement, scale, and dominate the market. Let's pump that broth.
- Batch yield: 60 liters final clear beef broth (ready-to-serve after seasoning/reduction). This supports 200 bowls/day at 300 mL broth per bowl (plus solids).
- Production run: Ideal central-kitchen batch size: 2×60 L (120 L) per production cycle to refill two 24 L compartments and stock reserve. All formulas scale linearly.
