Assemble the bowl(15 min)

Boil rice noodles 2 min, drain. Place in bowls. Top with sliced beef, pickled beans, crushed peanuts, and scallions. Ladle hot beef broth over everything. Drizzle chili oil. The key is the interplay of textures: slippery noodles, crunchy peanuts, tangy pickles.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

In Guilin, you eat the dry noodles first, then drink the broth separately. Try it both ways.
