Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 lb beef, sliced as thinly as possible
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons peanut oil or 4 tablespoons sesame oil
2 (14 ounce) cans low-sodium beef broth
2 (14 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken stock
5 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon anise seed
1 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon cardamom
4 tablespoons sugar
1 (16 ounce) package rice noodles
7 green onions, chopped
1/2 head cabbage (thinly sliced or minced)
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 jalapenos, minced
1 bunch bean sprouts
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch basil
1 bunch mint
sriracha sauce
hoisin sauce

Steps:

Soak rice noodles in very, hot tap water.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet on medium hot.
Saute garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, with the beef until the beef is 85% cooked through. .
Add broth, fish sauce, spices and sugar.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Rinse rice noodles and chop into 4-5 inch pieces.
Place noodles in bowls, pour broth and meat over noodles.
Add any or all garnish desired.
Personal Note: I like mine with super spicy so I add tons of jalapeno and siracha sauce, along with all the veggies and herbs. You can also do this with pork, fish, shrimp, or chicken, or use veggie stock and tofu if you want to keep it vegetarian.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
6 ounces rice noodles
5 ounces Baby Spinach
1 cup fresh basil leaf
8 ounces pastrami, torn in strips (16 thin slices)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 teaspoons chili oil
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

Put broth in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
NOTE - I like to simmer the broth with a 1" piece of fresh ginger (quartered) and a cinnamon stick for 30 minutes, remove the items and bring to a boil. It makes it not-so-quick, but it is more flavorful.
Add the noodles, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the spinach and basil for the last minute of cooking time.
Divide beef among 4 serving bowls. Ladle soup over the pastrami, sprinkle with green onions and drizzle with chili sauce.
Serve with lime.
