Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Add star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and chilies. Bring to a simmer.
Step 3
Simmer uncovered for 8 minutes to infuse the spices. Taste and adjust salt or soy sauce as needed.
Step 4
Add noodles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Ladle soup into bowls. Discard whole spices if desired. Top with scallions and serve hot.
