Ingredients:

Broth:

• 2 pounds beef bones (oxtail or marrow bones work well)
• 1 large onion, peeled and halved
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 3 whole star anise
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Noodles and Toppings:

• 1 pound rice noodles
• 1 pound beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup Thai basil, chopped
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Sriracha or hoisin sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth:

Place the beef bones in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 5 minutes. Drain the bones and rinse them clean. This step helps remove any impurities from the bones.

Return the bones to the pot and add in the onion, garlic, ginger, star anise, cinnamon sticks, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the bones and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for at least 4 hours, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

Once the broth is done simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer and return it to the pot. Add in the fish sauce and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Keep the broth warm on low heat.

2. Prepare the Toppings:

While the broth is simmering, prepare the toppings. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions and set aside. Thinly slice the beef and set aside. Chop the green onions, cilantro, and Thai basil, and set aside. Rinse the bean sprouts and set aside. Cut the lime into wedges and set aside.

3. Assemble the Soup:

Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Add a few slices of beef on top of the noodles. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and beef, making sure to cover the beef completely. This will quickly cook the beef. Add the desired toppings such as green onions, cilantro, Thai basil, and bean sprouts. Squeeze a lime wedge over the soup and add a few dashes of sriracha or hoisin sauce if desired.

And there you have it, a delicious and easy Vietnamese noodle soup ready to be enjoyed. This recipe is a great base for you to customize and add your own personal touch. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to impress your family and friends with your newfound noodle soup making skills.
