Cinnamon Beef Noodles
From Cooking Light

In this classic version of red-cooking, the meat is simmered in a soy
sauce-based mixture for a long time until tender. Seasonings such as
ginger, garlic, and cinnamon provide extra flavor. This method can be
used to cook a variety of meats, including pork, lamb, chicken, and
duck.
Yield:  8 servings (serving size: 1 cup beef mixture and 1/2 cup noodles)
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups rice wine or sake
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
8 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cinnamon sticks
1 (1-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach, chopped
4 cups hot cooked wide lo mein noodles or vermicelli (about 8 ounces
uncooked pasta)

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add
half of the beef, browning on all sides. Remove from pan. Repeat
procedure with remaining oil and beef. Return beef to pan; add water
mixture, onions, garlic, cinnamon, and ginger. Bring to a boil; cover,
reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until beef is tender. Discard
ginger slices and cinnamon. Stir in spinach; cook 3 minutes or until
wilted. Serve over noodles.
