2 tablespoons oil (neutral)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, minced
1 lb ground pork
10 cups chicken stock (or beef stock)
1 teaspoon ground aniseed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
one 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup nam pla
11 tablespoons sugar
1 lb dried rice vermicelli

1
Set large, flameproof casserole or stockpot over medium heat; add oil. A minute later, add garlic and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pork and minced onion with a large pinch of salt; form into about 20 small meatballs.
2
When onion is cooked, remove with slotted spoon. Add meatballs to pan. Turn heat to high; brown quickly, about 5 minutes. Return onion to the pan along with the stock, anise, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, nam pla and sugar.
3
Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the seasonings have married.
4
Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles in boiling salted water until tender, just a few minutes. Strain, rinse in cold water, and set aside.
5
When meatballs are cooked, add noodles to the broth and reheat them. Divide noodles and meatballs among 6 - 8 serving bowls and pour in the broth. Garnish with bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, chiles and scallions. Serve, squeezing lime juice over all.
