Preparation of Broth

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aromatics

    Peel and slice the ginger. Cut the onion in half and char it on an open flame or in a dry pan until slightly blackened.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    In a large pot, combine water, chicken broth, star anise, cinnamon stick, charred onion, and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.

    Season the Broth

    After 30 minutes, add fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir well and taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.

    Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.

  2. 5
