Gather beef bones, using short ribs and oxtail for gelatin.

Blanch the bones in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to remove impurities.

Char a whole onion and ginger over an open flame until blackened, then rinse and slice them.

Add the cleaned bones back into a large stockpot with fresh water.

Add charred onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and spring onions to the pot.

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 2 hours, skimming off any scum that rises to the top.

Strain the broth into a clean pot, discarding solids and keeping the liquid.

Season the broth aggressively with fish sauce, sugar, and salt to taste.

Slice additional beef (round steak) thinly and prepare to add to the broth.
