Begin by rinsing the beef brisket under cold water and then cut it into large chunks about 3-4 cm in size.
In a large pot, add the rinsed beef brisket, pour in 2000 ml of water, and bring it to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface to ensure a clear broth.
Once boiling, add the ginger (sliced), whole garlic cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, Chinese five spice, daikon radish (sliced), and salt. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer gently for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the beef is tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. This typically involves soaking them in hot water until softened. Once ready, drain and set aside.
As the beef nears readiness, finely chop the Chinese green onions, cilantro leaves, and fresh red chili for garnishing.
When the beef is tender, add the gluten-free soy sauce and white pepper to the broth. Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
To serve, place a portion of the prepared rice noodles into each bowl. Ladle over the hot broth and add chunks of the cooked beef and daikon radish.
Garnish generously with chopped green onions, cilantro leaves, and fresh red chili slices for a spicy kick.
Serve immediately, ensuring each bowl has a balanced combination of broth, beef, and vegetables.
