Broth

Method

Broth Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Bones

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the beef bones in a roasting pan and roast for about 30-40 minutes until browned.

  2. 2

    Making the Broth

    In a large pot, add the roasted beef bones and 4 liters of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim any foam that rises to the surface.

  3. 3

    Adding Aromatics

    Char the onion and ginger directly over an open flame or in a dry skillet until slightly blackened. Add them to the pot along with star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, fish sauce, salt, and sugar.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Simmer the broth for at least 3-4 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the liquid level constant. Strain the broth and discard the solids.

Noodles and Toppings Preparation

  1. 5

    Cooking the Noodles

    Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Preparing the Beef

    Thinly slice the raw beef. It is easier to slice when slightly frozen.

  3. 7

    Assembly

    In serving bowls, place a portion of cooked rice noodles. Top with raw sliced beef, and pour hot broth over the top to cook the beef.

  4. 8

    Garnishing

    Garnish with fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, sliced chili peppers, and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
