PREPARATION 1. In a large pot, add the broth, water, chicken carcass, onion, garlic, ginger, sugar, star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, and fennel seeds. 2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. 3. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface. Stir in the fish sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust fish sauce as desired for depth and saltiness. 4. Once the broth is rich and fragrant, remove it from heat. Strain out the solids (bones, onion, ginger, and spices). Discard solids, keeping just the clear, flavorful broth. 5. Place a portion of cooked rice noodles in each serving bowl. Add some broth and shredded chicken on top of the noodles, then the herbs, onions, sprouts, lime, and sauces. 6. Enjoy!
