beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: chicken

Chicken is often more affordable and lower in fat.

rice noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: regular pasta

Regular pasta can be less expensive and whole grain offers more fiber.

Start by using beef bouillon as the base for the broth.

Infuse the broth with ginger and onion. You can brulé the onion for added flavor.

Add cinnamon, star anise, and cloves to the broth. Bloom the spices by wrapping them in cheesecloth and adding them to the broth.

Simmer the broth with the spices for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove the spice sachet to avoid oversteeping.

Season the broth with sugar, salt, and fish sauce.

Prepare the beef by having it sliced super thin, preferably using a rib eye or filet mignon.

If you like rare beef, place the raw beef on top of the cooked rice noodles and ladle the hot broth over it to cook the meat.

If you prefer your beef more cooked, add it directly to the broth to simmer for a short time.

Strain the broth and freeze it in packets for later use if desired.

To serve, build your pho with cooked rice noodles, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and Vietnamese basil. Add hoisin and sriracha to taste.
