Instructions
1
Prep
Cut beef shank into chunks. Smash garlic clove, slice ginger, and soft-boil egg in simmering water for 7 minutes until yolk is creamy, then peel and halve.
2
Simmer
Bring beef stock to a boil over high heat. Add beef shank, star anise, cinnamon stick, sliced ginger and smashed garlic. Lower to low heat and simmer uncovered for 90 minutes until shank is fork-tender.
3
Skim
Every 20 minutes during simmering, skim the surface of broth with a spoon to remove grey foam and fat so broth stays clear.
4
Season
Stir fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar into broth and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until rounded and no longer sharp.
5
Boil
Cook rice noodles in separate boiling water over high heat for 3 minutes until pliable but chewy, then drain.
6
Build
Divide noodles into bowl. Top with bean sprouts and arrange sliced scallion and cilantro. Ladle hot broth and shank over top.
7
Plate
Arrange halved soft-boiled egg on top, scatter with black pepper, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
