  29. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  30. ### **1. Prepare the Broth**
  31. 1. **Blanch the bones:** Place beef bones in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse the bones to remove impurities.
  32. 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). This adds depth to the broth.
  33. 3. **Toast the spices:** In the same skillet, toast star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, and fennel seeds for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  34. 4. **Simmer the broth:** In a large pot, combine the blanched bones, brisket, charred onion, ginger, toasted spices, salt, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  35. 5. **Cook for 4-6 hours:** Simmer the broth uncovered for at least 4 hours, adding water as needed. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor. Remove the brisket after 1.5-2 hours, slice thinly, and set aside.

  37. ### **2. Prepare the Noodles and Toppings**
  38. 1. **Cook the rice noodles:** Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes, then boil for 1-2 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  39. 2. **Slice the beef:** Thinly slice the raw beef (sirloin or eye of round) against the grain for tenderness.
  40. 3. **Prepare the herbs and garnishes:** Wash and prepare fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and chili peppers.
