- Cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 min, then drain (or possibly follow package directions for whatever noodles you're using).
- Heat stock, onion, anise, lime juice, and nuoc mam in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the broth for about 30 min.
- Slice the beef in paper-thin slices.
- Arrange green onions, cilantro, beansprouts, chiles, and lime slices on a platter.
- When ready to serve, strain the onion and star anise out of the broth. With a slotted spoon or possibly strainer, lower a handful of beef slices into the simmering broth and let cook till they lose their red color. Remove - then repeat with the rest of the beef.
- Distribute the noodles proportionately among the deep bowls, then top with meat slices. Pour the broth over both, filling the bowl, and serve immediately, with porcelain spoons and chopsticks.
- Serve warm as a meal in great big bowls to 6, with accompaniments and a bottle of chili-garlic sauce (Tuong ot Toi Viet-Nam, if you can get it) on the side.
- Comments: The ultimate comfort food - and a snap to make once you get hold of all the ingredients. It's delicate but filling; fragrant and satisfying. With love and thanks to Angi Davison for addicting me to this marvelous soup.
