This initiative started in 2017 and the ingredient was later revealed to be pork and now it arrives once again with a spotlight on beef. The cryptic approach is met by simple flavors, yet rich and savory. The base notes are [soy sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pot-noodle-flame-grilled-steak) to elevate the beef added with white and green onions on top of a bed of rice. The result of the dish is a sweet and spicy tangy taste, elevated even further with the stock of the beef. It takes only five minutes to cook the entire dish and it is limited to only 10,000 units.
