Instructions
Soak rice noodles in hot water for 15 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, combine broth, lemongrass, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
Strain the broth through a fine sieve into another pot to remove solids, and return the clear broth to the stove.
Add the sliced onion to the broth and let it simmer for another 5 minutes or until the onion is tender.
Stir in shrimp, mussels, and squid, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and tender.
Mix in the fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Divide soaked and softened noodles among serving bowls.
Ladle the hot broth and seafood over the noodles.
Garnish each bowl with bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, green onions, and lime wedges.
Serve immediately with slices of jalapeño, hoisin sauce, and sriracha on the side for additional customization.
