Cook Time

1. 1
   Dry fry the halved onion in a hot pan without fat until the cut surfaces are lightly charred, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. This gives the broth color and a lightly roasted aroma.
2. 2
   Pour the broth into a spacious pot and add the star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves and ginger. Bring to a boil.
3. 3
   Add the dry-fried onion, fish sauce or tamari and sugar. Lower the heat and let it gently simmer for 25 minutes without a lid.
4. 4
   Strain the broth and taste: add salt or an extra splash of fish sauce if needed.
5. 5
   In the meantime, prepare the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package and distribute them over deep bowls.
6. 6
   Place the meat or tofu on top of the noodles and pour the hot broth over it: the heat of the broth cooks the thinly sliced raw beef in place.
7. 7
   Garnish with bean sprouts, fresh herbs and a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
