  28. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  29. ### **1. Prepare the Broth**
  30. 1. **Blanch the bones:** Place beef bones in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5-10 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and rinse the bones.
  31. 2. **Char the aromatics:** Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger halves, cut side down, and char until slightly blackened (about 5 minutes).
  32. 3. **Toast the spices:** In the same skillet, toast star anise, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, coriander, and fennel seeds for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  33. 4. **Simmer the broth:** In a large pot, combine the blanched bones, charred onion, ginger, toasted spices, salt, fish sauce, and sugar. Add 4-5 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-6 hours, skimming off any foam.
  34. 5. **Add the brisket:** After 2 hours, add the beef brisket to the broth and continue simmering until tender. Remove the brisket, slice thinly, and set aside.
