Instructions
 

  • Blanch the oxtail and beef bones in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse.

  • Place the brisket in the broth and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until tender.
  • Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
  • Thinly slice the beef sirloin.
  • Divide the noodles among bowls. Top with sliced beef, brisket, and garnish with coriander, Thai basil, lime wedges, and chilli.
  • Season with fish sauce and sugar to taste.
