Grate the frozen Ginger into the broth and simmer for approximately 20 minutes or so.

Turn off heat. Stir in the Bean Sprouts. Add the Rice Noodles and submerge them under the broth for approximately 5 minutes until soft.

Stir in most of the Cilantro Leaves. Remove the Stalks and Stems.

Taste and Season with a touch more Salt (or Tamari/Soy Sauce) as needed.
