Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup)

The recipe

Instructions

1. 1
   Char the halved onions and ginger directly over a flame or in a dry pan until blackened — this is essential for the broth's depth.
2. 2
   Cover the beef bones with water in a stock pot. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, drain and rinse the bones (cleanses them).
3. 3
   Return the bones to the pot with 3L fresh water, the charred onion and ginger, star anise, cinnamon, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer 90 minutes.
4. 4
   Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes until pliable. Slice the raw beef as thinly as possible.
5. 5
   Strain the broth back into the pot. Divide noodles and raw beef between bowls. Pour the screaming-hot broth over (it cooks the beef). Top with coriander, spring onion, lime and chilli.
