Method
Broth Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Broth
In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, sliced ginger, halved onion, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 2
Simmer the Broth
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the broth simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together.

Season the Broth
After simmering, stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste. If the broth is too strong, you can dilute it with a bit of water.

Strain the Broth
Remove the pot from heat and strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into another pot to remove the solid spices and ginger.
