INSTRUCTIONS
*Bean thread noodles (clear dried noodles, also known as cellophane or
transparent noodles), fish sauce (nam pla) and star anise are sold at Asian
markets and in the Asian section of some supermarkets.
Bring large pot of water to boil. Remove from heat. Add noodles to pot; let
stand until tender and pliable, about 15 minutes. Drain. Using scissors,
cut noodles into 2-inch lengths. Transfer to bowl.
Combine beef broth, sliced onions, sliced ginger, fish sauce, garlic, star
anise and whole cloves in heavy large Dutch oven and bring to boil. Reduce
heat; simmer 30 minutes. Strain broth into large bowl; discard solids.
(Noodles and broth can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and
refrigerate. Bring noodles to room temperature before continuing.) Return
beef broth to Dutch oven and bring to boil. Remove beef broth from heat.
Mix steak slices into broth (the hot broth will cook steak slices).
Place noodles, soup, sliced lettuce, sliced green onions and lemon wedges
in center of table. Spoon noodles, steak slices and broth into large soup
bowls, then top with generous amounts of sliced lettuce and green onions
and squeeze in lemon juice.
Serves 8.
