Broth

Noodles and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the beef stock, water, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, ground black pepper, and chili powder. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Noodles and Beef

  1. 3

    Cook the Noodles

    In another pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Beef

    Thinly slice the beef and add it to the simmering broth. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the beef is just cooked through.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 5

    Serve

    In a bowl, add a portion of the cooked rice noodles. Ladle the hot broth and beef over the noodles. Top with bean sprouts, fresh basil leaves, chopped cilantro, and sliced chili peppers if desired.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
