Make Concentrated Broth: Pour in the 2 cups of broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. The broth for Mì Quảng is very concentrated, salty, and used sparingly, unlike Pho.

Prepare Noodles: Boil the turmeric noodles until tender, drain, and place a small portion into the bottom of wide serving bowls.
