1. Prepare rice noodles according to package directions. Be sure to drain and rinse them with cold water after they're cooked to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
2. For the soup, place beef stock, onion, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, ginger, pepper, and five spice powder in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
3. Slice your steaks as thinly as possible across the grain.
4. Divide noodles, bean sprouts, and sliced steak evenly between four bowls.
5. Pour about 2 cups of the boiling broth over each bowl. Let sit for one minute to cook the beef.
6. Allow your guests to dress their soup to their liking, adding Sriracha and jalapeno for heat, lime for a little zest, and cilantro and mint for a fresh finish.
7. *If you're making this gluten free, be sure you have a gluten free Hoisin sauce.
