Step 1
Begin by charring the onion and ginger over an open flame by holding them with tongs. You can also place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for about five minutes on each side.
Step 2
Once you char the onion and ginger, rinse them with water.
Step 3
In a large pot over medium-low heat, dry-roast cinnamon, star anise, cloves, stirring to prevent burning.
Step 4
When you can smell the aroma of the roasted spices, add charred onion and ginger, vegetable stock, soy sauce, and carrots to the pot.
Step 5
Bring broth to a boil, reduce heat, cover the pot, and simmer on low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat and strain into another pot through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside and cover while you prepare the toppings.
Step 7
While your broth is simmering, place the noodles in a large bowl or pot and cover them with boiling water.
Step 8
Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender but still chewy. Once they are finished soaking, drain the water and set the noodles aside.
Step 9
Divide the noodles between two bowls and arrange your desired amount of toppings in each bowl.
