Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, add the beef bones and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that forms.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Peel and char the onion and ginger over an open flame or in a hot dry pan until slightly blackened. Add them to the pot along with star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Broth

    Cover and simmer the broth on low heat for at least 4 hours, adding water as necessary to keep bones submerged.

  4. 4

    Season the Broth

    After 4 hours, strain the broth and return it to the pot. Add fish sauce, sugar, and salt to taste. Keep it warm.

  5. 5

    Cook the Noodles

    In another pot, cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Bowl

    In serving bowls, place cooked noodles, then ladle hot broth over the top. Top with fresh herbs and additional toppings as desired.
