Can someone tell me how to prepare Pho (vietnemese soup). I love it and would love to make it at home.

I found this recipe on the food network website Pho Bo 6 cups beef broth 1 slice (1/4inch thick) ginger 2 whole star anise 1 cinnamon stick 1/2 lb piece boneless beef sirloin trimmed of fat 3 ounces dried flat rice noodles 1/4 cup asian fish sauce 1/8 tsp black pepper 1 cup fresh bean sprouts rinsed and drained 1/8 cup minced scallions 1/4 cup fresh cilantro sprigs, washed and finely chopped 1 small thin fresh asian chili, sliced very thin 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves In a 2 qt saucepan, bring broth, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. With a very sharp knife, cut sirloin across the grain into very thin slices. In a large bowl, cover noodles in hot water and soak 15 minutes or until softened and pliable. While noodles are soaking, bring a kettle of water to a boil for noodles. Drain the noodles, then cook in the boiling water, stirring 45 seconds or until tender. Drain and set aside. Strain the broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in fish sauce, salt and pepper. Add sirloin and sprouts and cook 30-45 seconds or until sirloin changes color. Skim any froth from the soup. To serve, divide the noodles into 4 bowls and ladle the broth over the noodles. Sprinkle the scallions, cilantro, chilies and basil over the soup and serve with lime wedges.
