The instruction how to make Lamb shank, star anise and noodle soup

1. Place the lamb shanks, onion, coriander seeds, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, beef stock and water in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, skimming the surface occasionally, for 2 hours or until lamb is very tender and coming off the bone. Remove from heat. Remove lamb shanks and set aside.
