Ingredients

1.5 kg beef bones
400 g thinly sliced beef
400 g rice noodles
2 onions
A piece of ginger
4 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
3 tbsp fish sauce
Thai basil, coriander, lime, bean sprouts

Instructions

Boil the bones for 10 minutes, throw that water away and rinse them well — this step is the whole secret of a clear broth.
Char the unpeeled onion and ginger over a flame or under a grill until blackened.
Toast the spices in a dry pan until fragrant.
Simmer everything in fresh water for 3 hours, never letting it boil.
Strain and season with fish sauce.
Cook the noodles, put them in bowls and lay the raw sliced beef on top.
Pour the boiling broth over — that heat is what cooks the beef.
Finish at the table with herbs, lime and sprouts.
