Beef Pho-express version

I had a craving for Pho for many days but the laborious work of making the perfect Pho put me off. At some point, I cave in to my craving and decided to make an "express version" of it. Barely 30mins of chopping and slicing and working in the kitchen, I can smirkly said its a success.

Using leftover beef(I know ideally slice etc but we are talking "express" here) and I am using whatever ingredients I had in the pantry so its really a forgiving Pho:)

For soup:

2 onions (slice, roasted or fried w/o out oil)

2 cloves garlic (smashed, roasted or fried w/o out oil)

2inch ginger

4 star anise 

2cinnamon stick

2 ballpeppers (roasted or fried w/o out oil)

1tbsp fish sauce

Beef stock or vege stock

Noodles

Corriander

Bean Sprout

Lime

Beef chunks or slices

 Just love the clean and clear taste. I feel "healthy" slurping the soup and this call for a second serving! Perfect booster for the harsh winter!
