Instructions

  1. 1 Trim chuck roast and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick by 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Quarter onion, leaving roots intact.
  2. 2 Place beef and onion in a large pot with light scallion parts, garlic, ginger, and peppercorns. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid, leaving it slightly askew. Cook, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil, until beef is tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off heat.
  3. 3 Transfer beef to a heat-proof bowl and spoon some of the cooking liquid over top to moisten. Let rest until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
  4. 4 While the beef is cooling, strain broth over an 8-cup heat-proof measure. Discard solids and return broth to the pot. Stir in fish sauce, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5 Separate 1 egg into 2 small bowls; stir egg yolk until runny.
  6. 6 Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Rub oil with a paper towel to coat sides and bottom of the skillet with a thin layer. Scrape egg yolk into the skillet with a rubber spatula. Remove from the heat and swirl to evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. Return to the heat and cook, undisturbed, until egg yolk is pale-yellow and the surface looks dry, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and gently flip with a spatula. Let sit for 1 minute, then transfer to a cutting board. Cut egg yolk sheet in half, then slice crosswise into thin strips. Wipe the skillet clean.
  7. 7 Prep and heat the skillet in the same manner with the remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil and a paper towel. Cook egg white until it turns opaque and bubbles form on the surface, about 45 seconds. Turn off heat and let sit until set, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently transfer to a cutting board and slice as you did for the egg yolk sheet. Set aside.
  8. 8 Return broth to a boil over high heat. Add dumplings and cook until they float and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer over medium.
  9. 9 Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering soup. Cook until eggs set, about 5 seconds. Remove soup from heat and stir in reserved dark green scallion parts, sesame oil, and additional salt to taste.
  10. 10 Ladle soup into bowls and top with egg white and egg yolk strips. Garnish with nori.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cook beef: Place beef roast in a large saucepan; pour in water. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and brown beef on all sides. Once water has evaporated, add broth, vinegar, chili powder, and cumin. Cover tightly and reduce heat to low. Simmer until beef falls apart when lifted, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Use 2 forks or your fingers to shred beef in the pan; allow to cool to room temperature.
  2. 2 Make sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion in the hot skillet until just soft, not browned. Mix in green chilies and flour. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Stir in Monterey Jack cheese and sour cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often, until cheese is melted and incorporated. Set sauce aside to cool.
  3. 3 Prepare tortillas: Heat oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Use tongs to dip tortillas, one at a time, into hot oil until crisp, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 5 Spread 1/4 cup sauce down the center of a tortilla. Top with about 1/4 cup shredded beef. Roll up and place seam-side down in an 8x11-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, sauce, and beef. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over rolled tortillas.

Remove chiles from soaking water, and place into the blender along with 1/3 cup of the soaking liquid. Cover, and blend until a smooth paste forms.
  3. 3 Place beef roast into a mixing bowl, and pour the guajillo chile paste over top. Coat beef on all sides with paste, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
