Side Notes:

§ If you like it with beef, you may try, and see whether the texture is the same. It will be something like the beef Bolognese in dark soy sauce form.

§ The noodles is very much of your preferences, you can mix the base with even ramen, our family likes it with knife-shaved noodles (刀削面), as the texture is a bit different when you eats it.
