- 8 oz rice noodles (thin)
- 1 whole lime (halved)

Instructions
- 1
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 4 minutes.
- 2
Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves and the broth turns dark brown, about 1 minute.
- 3
Add rice noodles and simmer until tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't clump.
- 4
Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or salt if needed; the broth should taste deeply savory and slightly sweet.
- 5
Ladle into bowls and top each with a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of chili oil.
- 6
