Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup)

Ingredients:

For the Broth:

● 2 large onions, halved

● 1 4-inch piece of ginger, sliced

● 4-5 lbs beef bones (knuckle and marrow bones)

● 1 lb beef brisket or sirloin, thinly sliced

● 3-4 star anise

● 3-4 cloves

● 2 cinnamon sticks

● 1 cardamom pod

● 1 tablespoon coriander seeds

● 1 tablespoon salt

● 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce

● 1-2 tablespoons sugar

For Serving:

● Flat rice noodles (bánh phở)

● Bean sprouts

● Fresh basil leaves

● Lime wedges

● Red chili, sliced

● Hoisin sauce

● Sriracha sauce

Instructions:

Char Onions and Ginger:

● Preheat the oven broiler. Place halved onions and sliced ginger on a baking sheet. Broil for about 15-20 minutes or until they are charred.

Prepare Bones:

● Rinse beef bones under hot water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bones and boil vigorously for 10 minutes. Discard the water, clean the bones, and the pot. Rinse bones with warm water.

Simmer Broth:

● In the cleaned pot, add beef bones, charred onions, ginger, and brisket or sirloin. Fill the pot with water (about 4 quarts) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.

Toast Spices:

● Toast star anise, cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pod, and coriander seeds in a dry pan until fragrant. Place the toasted spices in a spice bag or tie them in cheesecloth.

Season Broth:

● Add the spice bag, salt, fish sauce, and sugar to the simmering broth.

Continue to simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, skimming off any impurities that float to the surface.

Cook Rice Noodles:

● Cook the flat rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Prepare Garnishes:

● Slice the beef thinly. Arrange bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime wedges, and sliced chili for serving.

Assemble Pho:

● Strain the broth, discarding the solids. Adjust the seasoning with fish sauce, salt, and sugar if needed.

Serve:

● In serving bowls, place a handful of cooked rice noodles and raw beef slices. Pour the hot broth over the noodles and beef. The hot broth will cook the raw beef slices.

Garnish and Enjoy:

● Serve the pho hot, garnished with bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime wedges, and sliced chili. Hoisin sauce and Sriracha can be added according to personal taste.

Enjoy:

● Squeeze lime juice over your bowl, add hoisin and Sriracha if desired, and enjoy this classic Vietnamese dish!

Note:

● Pho is often enjoyed with various cuts of beef, such as flank, tendon, and tripe.

You can add these to the broth during the last 15-20 minutes of simmering, allowing them to cook through.

● Adjust the seasoning to your taste, as preferences for salt, sweetness, and fish sauce can vary.

● Pho is traditionally served with a side of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced chili to add to each bowl as desired.

Prepare the Baguette:

● Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less Sriracha and jalapeño peppers.
