DIRECTIONS
For Broth: In a large stockpot, heat garlic, carrots, cinnamon stick, onion, broth, and ginger to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, for Add-Ins and Noodles: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; add jalapeños and cook 5 minutes or until skins are blistered and slightly charred. Cool jalapeños 5 minutes; slice lengthwise in half and remove seeds and ribs, if desired.
Strain broth into same saucepot and discard solids; stir in soy sauce and heat to simmering over medium-high heat. Stir in bamboo shoots, box chop, and mushrooms; cook 1 minute or until simmering. Stir in beef and nori; cook 30 seconds or until desired doneness. Makes about 12 cups.
With tongs, evenly divide noodles into serving bowls; evenly ladle broth mixture into bowls. Garnish with eggs, green onions, and jalapeños; add chili garlic sauce and soy sauce, if desired.
