Place the noodles in a strainer and rinse very well, reserve these for later. Season the steak with salt, pepper, and just a pinch of the 5 spice. Heat your soup pot over high heat add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the meat for about 3 minutes on each side, longer if you like it cooked more than med rare. Remove from the heat and let is rest while you prepare the rest of the soup.

Lower the heat to medium and add the onion and ginger stirring for 2 minutes so not to burn the onion. Add the broth, 1 1/2 cups of water, cinnamon, and red chili. Simmer for 15 minutes. While this is simmering slice the jalapeno, ramps, cilantro, and steak. You want the steak sliced VERY thin. Add the fish sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick and the ginger.

Divide the noodles, steak, cilantro, ramps, and jalapenos between 2 bowls. Top with the hot broth and enjoy!
