Product Information

The reason being, when you simmer your bones they will end up releasing scum into your broth and cause it to get cloudy. As shown in pictures below, which we made in our small motorhome kitchen, we demonstrate how to use this with excellent results.

Toasting spices wakes them up and brings out their distinctive flavors. Here’s a list of spices we use for aromatic and flavorful pho broth: The instant pho cube instructions were only in Vietnamese and they tell you to put one cube into ½ liter (generous 2 cups) of boiling water, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then use the liquid for 2 bowls of pho with 150 grams (5 ⅓ ounces) of banh pho flat rice noodles in each bowl. The Pho soup broth is everything.It’s light yet full of flavour, deceptively beefy, savoury, complex, has the tiniest hint of richness and is filled with beautiful spices like cinnamon.Char the whole onion, ginger and daikon on a griddle. Boil the water in a large pot. Add the charred veg, root veg, mushrooms, fennel and celery. Add the sugar, salt and spices, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes. The next step is to pour boiling hot broth over the noodles and the meat. The hot broth will cook the raw thinly sliced meat to perfection - deliciously flavored and tender. Just make sure to cover the meat with the broth. Note that if you follow the recipe below, the picture above should also have bits of meat from the bones and thinly sliced onions and scallions arranged over the raw beef slices before pouring the broth. Things happen when trying cook, style, and take pictures simultaneously.

Beef pho, or pho bo, is the most popular pho in the West. You can find it in every Vietnamese restaurant. If you are a fan of pho, you have probably noticed how the taste and quality vary from place to place. What makes or breaks pho is the broth. It takes time and quality ingredients to prepare. Authentic pho broth will captivate you with its aroma and taste that seamlessly combines salty, sweet, and umami all in one. Pho requires a methodical and complex preparation, but all that can be easily done at home, and it's so worth it. Once you try it once, you will be making it repeatedly.

If you are looking to make pho as good as what you’d find at the most authentic restaurants, substituting store-bought beef broth for this recipe won’t cut it. We know our process takes longer than some, but trust me, this custom homemade broth, with specific ingredients, has so much more flavor. You won’t regret it. For the best, clear broth, parboil and rinse the bones

To toast spices, throw them into a dry pan over medium heat, stay close, and shake the pan a couple of times. You’ll know when they’re ready when you start to smell them. It only takes two to three minutes.

Beef pho assembly steps

I love authentic pho soup, but I wanted to create a recipe that has great flavor, but doesn’t take hours to make or use hard to find ingredients. This pho recipe is exactly that! This should get rid of all the scum so that your broth can be pure and full of delicious flavor, not impure particles. Prep Your Onion and Fresh Ginger Toppings: This is the fun part—you can mix and match toppings or set out a pho bar for your friends to make their own. Fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and hot sauces all work well. Here is the basic overview for how to make homemade pho bowls! (As always, see the recipe below for the full detailed instructions.)

For the sauce, fry the shallots in the oil in a small saucepan until light golden. Add the vegan pho rest of the ingredients and a dash of cooking oil, and bring to a gentle boil to reduce for a few minutes. Adding fish sauce (said Vietnamese friend told me that one of the secrets to a great pho recipe is to not add salt, and instead add enough fish sauce to bring the broth to the correct level of saltiness.) Seeing as how this product is made in Vietnam, I assumed that they were calling for fresh rice noodles. I guesstimated it at 4 ounces of dried and soaked 8 ounces some in hot water until pliable. I was fixing lunch for my husband and me. The pho broth is going to be the most important part of the soup because that’s where all the flavors meld together. We serve bowls of pho soup next to a plate of Thai basil, fresh mint, thinly sliced onion, crispy bean sprouts, and lime. Fresh chilies are also nice!

Storage instructions? I recommend refrigerating the broth, protein, noodles and garnishes in separate containers, so that the noodles do not soak up all of the broth. But the cooked soup (with the ingredients stored separately or mixed together) can be refrigerated in sealed containers for up to 3 days. Experience the magic of one of the greatest noodle soups in the world with this easy to follow traditional Vietnamese Pho recipe! Made from scratch with the signature broth that’s light yet at the same time so full of flavour, it’s infused with spices like cinnamon, star anise and cardamom.The soup isutterly addictive and every spoonful leaves you wanting more! You can squeeze in as much lime juice as you want or throw in as many beansprouts as you can handle.Another classic pho ingredient to add is bok choy because it has a crisp, refreshing taste with a flavorful broth. Remove the meat and, once cooled, slice thinly. Leave the bones and oxtail in the broth to simmer for one hour then season with fish sauce to taste.
