Beef Pho
This is one of my favorite recipes for winter! It's a traditional Vietnamese beef broth soup made with onion, ginger and spices. The recipe can be made in 90 mins, but I prefer to simmer the broth for at least 4 hours to get the maximum flavor. Perfect for cozying up on cold winter nights!

Directions
7 STEPS
1
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, toast the cinnamon stick, star anise, whole cloves, cardamom seeds, and fennel seeds for 3-5 minutes until aromatic. Shake the pan often to prevent burning. Set aside.

Place the toasted spices in a cheesecloth or steeping ball, and add to the broth to steep for 15 minutes while the broth simmers.
4
Follow the package instructions to prepare the rice noodles.
5
When the rice noodles are cooked, drained, and rinsed, transfer them to serving bowls.
6
Remove the spices from the broth and stir. Pour the broth over the noodles.
