Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes.

2. In the meantime, prepare your rice noodles by cooking them according to package directions. Set them aside.

3. Once the broth is done cooking, strain out the onions, ginger and spices and season it to taste.
