Instructions
Place the beef brisket into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse the brisket to remove impurities.
Toast the onion and ginger over an open flame or under a broiler until charred. Set aside.

Season with sea salt and rock sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Simmer gently for 3-4 hours, uncovered, until the brisket is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
After cooking, strain and remove the solids from the broth. Adjust seasoning with fish sauce and more salt if needed.
Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions and divide them amongst serving bowls.
Slice the cooked brisket thinly against the grain and arrange over the noodles.
