Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Lemongrass Beef Noodle Soup)

The bold, spicy noodle soup from the city of Hue in central Vietnam: a deep broth simmered for hours from oxtail, beef shin and pork hocks, perfumed with bruised lemongrass and a touch of shrimp paste, then finished with a fiery red lemongrass-chile satay. It's ladled over thick round rice noodles with tender sliced beef and pork and piled with herbs, onion, bean sprouts and lime.
