Beef noodles
The noodles can be springy or ordinary; the beef ranges from tender to firm and somewhat dry, while the broth can be savory and aromatic with a slight oily note.
Oxtail
Noticeably gelatinous and soft with a springy bite; a good first choice.
Dried tofu
Thinly sliced and well-seasoned, with a more noticeable sweetness and sesame-oil flavor; its porous texture suits chili oil.

Cleanly prepared, with a substantial, crisp bite.
