Method

Broth Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, combine 8 cups of water, 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Add the sliced ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and black peppercorns.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Strain the Broth

    After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot, discarding the solids. Return the broth to the pot and keep it warm over low heat.

Seafood Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Seafood

    Add the shrimp, imitation crab meat, scallops, and squid to the warm broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and the scallops are opaque.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Garnishes

    While the seafood cooks, prepare your garnishes by slicing the onion, chopping the cilantro, and cutting the lime into wedges.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the hot seafood and broth into bowls. Top with sliced onions, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced chili peppers if desired. Serve hot.
