Vietnamese Pho recipe
This Pho recipe has been in the works for a while now.
Its been quietly made and remade by various RecipeTin family members since our first trip to Vietnam.

We take our Pho very seriously.
One of the greatest noodle soups in the whole world commands respect!
This homemade Pho recipe is actually quite straightforward but you do need a very large pot!
What is Pho?
I dont blame you.
It looks like a relatively harmless bowl of beef noodle soup.
That is, until you take your first slurp.
It is, without question, one of The Best Soups in the whole world!
In Vietnam, of course.
Pho really is a soup that needs to be made from scratch with a homemade beef broth.
Throwing some spices into store bought stock just doesnt cut it Im afraid and I rarely say that!
Its more time than anything and a very big pot!
And it distresses me to see so many Pho recipes online using just bones!
The single most important thing in a pho recipe is using the right combination of beef meat AND bones.
Most recipes get it wrong, so the broth lacks flavour.
None of these are difficult to find nowadays though perhaps not all at your local supermarket.
I get everything either from my butchers or from Asian butchers (extremely good value).
Youll find brisket and meaty soup bones at large supermarkets.
And marrow bones are now widely available at butchers and also the freezer section of Asian stores.
The spices are toasted to bring out the flavour before adding into the pot.
TIP:To thinly slice the beef, just partly freeze the beef then slice.
Makes it so much easier to thin super finely!
I say this is a straight forward recipe because theres no tricky techniques involved.
So why make Pho at home?
My situation is mainly #5.

PS Im also #4.
