Simmer the stock with the garlic and ginger for 15 minutes to build a fragrant base, then season with the fish sauce and salt.

Cook the noodles separately so the broth stays clean, and divide them between deep bowls.

Cook the squid gently in the simmering broth until just done, then lift out and slice or portion.

Ladle the piping-hot broth over the noodles and arrange the squid on top.

Finish with thai basil, spring onions and a wedge of lime on the side.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
