Easy Homemade Pho
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 yellow onion, rough chopped
- 1 head of garlic, sliced in half
- Copious amount of bone broth (you can use chicken or beef! Veggie friends can definitely make this with vegetable broth. I used about 4 jars of the Epic bone broth thinned out with a little water)
- 2 star anise pods
- A generous sprinkle of cardamom
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 giant piece of ginger, peeled and rough chopped
- A chunk of lemongrass if you can find it (i could not, but it would have been awesome)
- About 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring all ingredients to a boil.
- After the mixture is boiling, bring to a simmer and cover. Let simmer for an hour or so.
- Start soaking your rice noodles. (This isn’t the “fast” part, but I just let it chill on the stove while I did things around the house and chased the girls around)
- When you’re ready to serve, strain the broth mixture
- Set the amount of noodles you’d like into each bowl and top with protein of choice (I used sliced chicken that I baked with salt, pepper and garlic)
- Top with the broth
- Serve with lime wedges, basil, hoisin sauce, sriracha, bean sprouts, sliced fresh jalapeños, any toppings you like!
