This recipe is designed to be as easy to make as possible, while simultaneously being as based as possible. + +- ⏲️ Prep time: 20 min +- 🍳 Cook time: 2 hours +- 🍽️ Servings:4 + +## Ingredients + +- Garlic (4-8 large cloves) +- Spring Onions +- Cardamom Seeds (10 or so) +- Star Anise (4-5) +- Ginger +- Cinnamon Sticks (3-5 sticks) +- Diced Beef (300g) +- Beef Bones with marrow (3x) +- Beef bouillon cubes (1-3) +- Coriander (to taste) +- 1 Lime (to taste) +- Fish/Oyster Sauce +- Honey or Brown Sugar +- Rice noodles + +## Directions + +1. Heat your oven and place the spices (garlic, cardamom seeds, cinammon sticks, star anise and ginger) on a tray and bake them until browned or decently toasted. +2. Boil bones until you remove most of the scum, and transfer the spices from the oven into the pot. Life will be easier if you can place the spices in a tea strainer of sorts, otherwise, it's not the worst thing in the world fishing them out later on. +3. Add beef bouillon cubes, diced beef, fish/oyster sauce, and honey/sugar, then simmer for a couple hours with the lid on. +4. Cook the rice noodles (should only take a few minutes, just until the texture is al dente enough). +5. Once the broth is done cooking, fish out the spices that you added at step 2. It's worth doing this rather than accidently chewing on a bit of star anise, trust me. +6. Cut up coriander and spring onions as garnnish. +7. Add rice noodles to bowl, followed by the broth and its contents, followed by the garnish. This can be made and eaten within 1 hour if you want it quickly, but typically with broths the longer you simmer the tastier it'll be. + +## Contribution + +- Jon Burga - [website](https://jonburga.com), +[donate-btc]( `bc1qqsj592ls8xdhxpf5h4e8wj2w3v9uvv6mc6gz7f`) + +;tags: vietnamese beef
