3. Make the nuoc cham by blending together the chillies, garlic, sugar, lemon zest and juice, rice vinegar, water, fish sauce and shrimp paste in a food processor or grinding in a pestle and mortar until well-blended.
4. Cook the rice noodles in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender, drain and cut into 2.5cm pieces.
5. To serve the dish, divide the noodles and bean sprouts in 8 serving bowls.
6. Place a few slices of rump steak, tomato and spring onion in a large ladle.
7. Bring the stock to the boil and immerse the ladle into the boiling stock. Leave the ladle in the boiling stock until the beef just begins to turn brown, around 30 seconds.
8. Pour the ladleful over the noodles, garnish with coriander sprigs and serve with the nuoc cham. Repeat the process for the remaining noodles.
