Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ounce(s) rice noodles
1 - star anise
1 tablespoon(s) coriander seeds
1 - cinnamon stick
2 - whole cloves
6 cup(s) chicken stock
2 - inch piece ginger peeled and minced
4 clove(s) garlic minced
2 tablespoon(s) fish sauce

1/4 pound(s) pork tenderloin cut into paper thin slices
- juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoon(s) fresh cilantro chopped

1 small red chile seeded and thinly sliced or use dried red pepper flakes or red chilies

Steps:

In a bowl combine the noodles with hot water to cover and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small frying pan combine the star anise, coriander seeds, cinnamon and cloves. Toast the spices over medium heat stirring frequently until fragrant. 2 to 3 minutes.
In a large saucepan combine the broth, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, sugar and toasted spices. (If you are using dried chilies place them in broth also). Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain soup through a fine mesh strainer and return to the pan. Add noodles and bring back to a boil and cook 5 more minutes.
Remove from heat and add the pork with remaining ingredients. The pork will cook in the hot liquid immediately. Ready to serve.
