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

2/3 cup chopped peeled fresh ginger
8 garlic cloves, chopped
7 whole star anise (star-shaped spice)*
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
12 cups water
7 cups canned beef broth (about four 14 1/2-ounce cans)
3 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)*

6 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Lime wedges
Additional fish sauce (nam pla)

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle oxtails with salt and pepper. Add oxtails to pot and brown on all sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer oxtails to large bowl. Add onions and next 6 ingredients to same pot. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Return oxtails to pot. Add 12 cups water, beef broth and 3 tablespoons fish sauce. Cover and simmer gently until oxtails are very tender, about 3 hours.
  • Using tongs, transfer oxtails to large bowl. Strain broth into another large pot; discard solids. Remove meat from oxtails; discard bones. Add meat to broth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef broth: This is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is rich and flavorful, with a deep beefy taste.
  • Don't overcook the beef: The beef should be cooked until it is just tender, but not tough. If you overcook it, it will become dry and chewy.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give the soup a brighter flavor and more nutrients. If you can, buy your vegetables from a farmers market or Asian grocery store.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness: This recipe is for a spicy soup, but you can adjust the amount of chili peppers to suit your taste. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers altogether.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Vietnamese beef noodle soup include bean sprouts, cilantro, lime wedges, and sriracha sauce.

Conclusion:

This spicy Vietnamese beef noodle soup is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and fresh, and the broth is rich and spicy. This soup is sure to warm you up from the inside out.
