Beef Pho

Cultural Context

Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup that has gained international popularity. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast dish in Vietnam but is versatile enough to be eaten at any time of day. The dish is characterized by its aromatic broth, which is typically made by simmering beef bones and spices for an extended period, resulting in a rich flavor. Pho reflects the cultural blend of influences in Vietnam, including Chinese and French culinary traditions, and is often customized with various herbs and condiments to suit individual tastes.

1

Prepare the beef shank and beef bones, rinsing them in cold water to remove impurities.

Cut the two onions in half and slice the ginger, then place them in the oven to roast for 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.

In a large pot, add the blanched beef bones and meat along with approximately 3.5 to 4 liters of water.

5

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat for 30 minutes, then reduce to low heat for simmering.

If using a pressure cooker, cook for 10 minutes for a quick broth, or simmer for 3-4 hours for a richer flavor.

7

After cooking, skim off any fat from the surface of the broth.

8

Season the broth with fish sauce and salt to taste.

9

Prepare the rice noodles by soaking them in hot water until soft, then drain.
