Steps

60 minutes

1

Combine 4 1/4 cups beef bone broth (1 liter) with 12 3/4 cups broth (3 liters) in a pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 3 tablespoons fish sauce. Simmer over low heat.
2

Score an onion and add it to the pot, keeping the slices attached. This helps make the broth softer and sweeter.
3

Char the star anise, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, ginger, and onion. Rinse them, then add to the broth.
4

Simmer gently with the lid slightly open to prevent the broth from becoming cloudy. While waiting, prepare the chopped scallions, cilantro, beef, and rice noodles.
5

Slice the beef.
6

Arrange all the ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle a little MSG if desired, but it's optional.
7

Enjoy.
