Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until they are softened. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, combine the low sodium seafood stock and water. Add the star anise, cinnamon stick, sliced ginger, and quartered onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the broth is simmering, prepare the seafood. Ensure the shrimp is deveined and peeled, squid is cleaned and cut into rings, and the scallops are rinsed.
After 15 minutes, remove the spices and onion from the broth. Stir in the low sodium fish sauce.
Add the shrimp, squid, and scallops to the broth and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.
Divide the soaked and drained rice noodles among serving bowls.
Ladle the hot seafood broth and cooked seafood over the noodles in each bowl.
Top each bowl with a handful of bean sprouts and garnish with fresh basil, cilantro, and mint leaves.
Serve with lime wedges, sliced green onions, and jalapeño slices on the side for additional flavor.
