Ingredients

4 pounds bone-in beef shank
1 onion
5 slices fresh ginger root

1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles
1/2 pound cooked beef sirloin, thinly sliced
3 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh bean sprouts

In a large pot over medium heat, bring beef shank and 3 quarts water to a boil. Skim off foam. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 4 hours.
