- Broth:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 thick slices beef shank
- 2 pounds beef oxtail, cut into pieces
- 1 (6 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 6 whole star anise
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cardamom pod
- 3 quarts water
- 1 onion, halved
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 (16 ounce) package fresh rice noodles
- 1 cup fresh bean sprouts, or to taste
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced into rings, or to taste
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook beef shank, oxtail pieces, and ginger in hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add star anise, fennel seed, coriander seed, cloves, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pod to the pot and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir water, onion, garlic, white sugar, and bay leaf into beef mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until broth is flavorful and meat is falling off the bone, 5 to 6 hours. Remove meat and reserve. Strain broth into a pot; discard strained spices and vegetables.
- Chop beef shank meat and add to broth in pot; stir in fish sauce and soy sauce. Bring broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low to keep warm.
- Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
- Place a handful of bean sprouts in the bottom of a large soup bowl. Top with a large handful of prepared rice noodles and drop a few jalapeno slices over noodles. Ladle beef broth into bowl to cover noodles.
