"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

Boil beef (with bones) or oxtails in 3 qts cold water. Skim off foam
and fat. Cover and simmer for 4 hours. Broil onion until flesh is
soft, turning often. Peel. Add onion, ginger, anise, salt, and fish
sauce to beef broth just before it has finished simmering. Also just
before beef broth finishes simmering, drop vermicelli into a pot of
boiling water. Cook 8 minutes, remove from water, rinse in cold
water, and drain. Divide vermicelli into three equal portions and
place in 3 individual serving bowls. Divide beef into 3 equal
portions and place on top of vermicelli in the bowls. Garnish each
bowl with scallions and 2 or 3 fresh cilantro sprigs. Strain broth,
reserving beef and flavorings. Pour one cup broth over contents of
each bowl. Sprinkle with pepper and chiles. Serve immediately.
Reserved beef, flavorings, and extra broth can be eaten separately.
