|
6 Servings
4 quarts fat free low-sodium beef broth
1 large onion, sliced into paper-thin rings
6 slices peeled fresh gingerroot (about the size of quarters)
1 stalk lemongrass, cleaned, leaves removed (do not substitute lemon zest
or juice (the flavor is not at all the same)
1 small piece cinnamon stick (I use broken pieces of stick cinnamon, about
1 tsp total)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 lb beef sirloin tip, cut into very thin slices (ask the butcher to slice
it paper thin I like to buy beef for sukiyaki at the Oriental market) |
1/2 lb fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
1 cup fresh Thai basil, rinsed and dried
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, rinsed and dried (coriander)
2 limes, cut into wedges
1/2-1 lb flat rice noodles (I prefer noodles about 1/4 inch wide)
sambal oelek (optional) or sriracha sauce (optional)
thinly sliced serrano peppers (optional) or jalapeno chiles (optional)
fish sauce (nam pla) (optional)
hoisin sauce (optional) |

METHODS
|
1. In a 6 quart stockpot, combine broth, onion, ginger, lemongrass, cinnamon, and peppercorns (tie the seasonings loosely in cheesecloth for easier removal). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, prepare rice noodles and garnishes.
3. Arrange bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, chilies, and limes on a large platter.
4. To prepare rice noodles, bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil. Add rice noodles and stir to separate. Cook until just barely tender, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well. If not quite ready to serve, rinse noodles and drain again.
5. To serve, remove seasonings (except onions) from broth; keep broth hot.
6. Place ½ cup rice noodles in each of 6 large, deep bowls.
7. Arrange thinly sliced beef over noodles, fanning out to increase surface area. Ladle very hot broth over beef and stir to cook.
8. Serve immediately. Pass garnish platter and sauces for people to add as desired. |
