Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Brown ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in beef broth and soy sauce. Add star anise, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 8 minutes.
Step 3
While broth simmers, boil egg noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Taste the broth. Add more soy sauce or salt to your liking — it should taste deeply savory and aromatic.
Step 5
Divide noodles among 4 bowls. Ladle hot broth and beef over each bowl, making sure each gets pieces of whole spices.
Step 6
Garnish with scallions and serve immediately. Fish out or eat around the star anise and chili peppers.
