Enjoyed this very much! My DH also really liked and said it was as good as "take out"! We used a pho paste fro an Asian food stoe and added it to the canned beef broth instead of adding the spices. We added lots of lime juice, bean sprouts, and cilantro, which is how we've always had it prepared in CA and IN. We usually don't add any chili sauce or hoisin, but occasionally will. This recipe is a keeper!
