Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a large pot with ginger slices, soy sauce, and fish sauce.

  2. Step 2

    While broth heats, cook rice noodles in boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes, then drain.

  3. Step 3

    Divide cooked noodles into four bowls and top each with a handful of thinly sliced raw beef.

  4. Step 4

    Pour hot broth over beef and noodles — the heat will cook the meat in seconds to a perfect rare.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with lime wedges, sliced chili, and fresh basil or cilantro on the side for squeezing and topping.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (6-quart minimum)
