Based on the Vietnamese dish pho, this recipe features fragrant broth, supple rice noodles, thin steak slices, and fresh herbs for a complete meal. I make this, or a chicken version, two or three times a month.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon
  • Yellow onion, 1, coarsely chopped
  • Fresh ginger,

Method

Add the broth, 2 cups (16 fl oz/8 ml) water, the fish sauce, and sugar. Place the star anise and cloves in a tea strainer or wrap in cheesecloth and add to the pot. Bring to a boil.
