Roast the ginger and shallots for 20 minutes in some kitchen foil so they don&#8217;t dry out.<\/p>\n<p>2. Into a large pot, pour the beef stock in anticipation for the ginger and shallots.<\/p>\n<p>3. Chop the ginger and shallots once out of the oven and add to a large stockpot, then add the star of anise and cardamom. Bring to the boil for 30 minutes and then set aside.<\/p>\n<p>2. Prepare the noodles following the packet instruction and then plunge into cold water whilst you finish the stock. Separate out into serving bowls after a minute or so to ensure the noodles don&#8217;t all stick together.<\/p>\n<p>5. Divide the raw chives, spring onions and onion between the serving bowls. Then add the finely sliced beef raw &#8211; once we add the boiling broth it will cook quickly.<\/p>\n<p>6. Reheat the broth to boiling point, remove cardamom and star of anise with a fishslice,&nbsp;and pour into your prepared serving bowls &#8211; the beef should turn opaque quickly.<\/p>\n<p>7. Serve with any optional garnishes as you wish.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\nWhilst the above is a great dish, nothing beats a real local Vietnamese noodle soup.
