Step 1
Bring beef stock to a boil in a large pot over high heat, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add ground beef to the boiling broth, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar until the broth darkens and tastes rich and salty, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Add rice noodles and simmer until tender, about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't clump.
Step 5
Taste and adjust soy sauce or fish sauce for depth. Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro, scallions, and dried chilies.
