PHO Soup Recipe help

[Dadof3Illinois]

Does anyone have a tried and true PHO soup recipe? I love this soup and when I can find somewhere that serves it that's where I'm eating!! I would love to make it myself and it doesn't look too hard. I've found a couple recipes on-line that look good but wanted to ask everyone here and get their thoughts before I go give this a shot.

I’ve made Alton a Browns recipe a few times in my instapot and it was really good. Recipe came from his most recent book I believe. I liked the fact it was a 1-2 hour process from start to beginning and provided the same great flavor I was used to getting at the restaurants.

I bet the Food Dictator has a recipe, if he were still posting here.

Jhirshon does indeed. Go to thefooddictator.com and search for pho soup.

I think the key to a really good pho is the beef stock, probably "Asianized" a bit with ginger and whatnot and absolutely homemade.

Here's the recipe I used to make this pho with pork loin, bok choy and shitake mushroom

2 Tbl coriander seeds
4 whole cloves
4 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick

Toast the above spices in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes, until they become fragrant. Pour into a bowl and let cool.

2 quarts homemade chicken stock
1 bunch green onions, top green parts chopped
1 3-inch chunk ginger, sliced and smashed with the flat side of a knife
1 tsp brown sugar
1 Tbl fish sauce
1 lb baby bok choy
1 lb shitake mushrooms, sliced
6 oz udon noodles
1 lb cooked pork loin, sliced
cilantro, chopped for garnish
green onion white parts, chopped for garnish
lime wedges
Sriracha sauce

- Add the toasted spices, green onion tops, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce to the broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Skim the surface.
- While the stock simmers, saute the shitake in sunflower oil until tender
- Remove all the spices, green onions and ginger
- Add the bok chow and cook for 1-2 minute until tender
- Add the shitake to the broth
- Cook the udon noodles in water as directed on the package
- Dvivide the cooked noodles into bowls, then ladle broth, bok choy and mushrooms into each bowl
- Top with slices of pork loin
- Let everyone add garnishes and Sriracha to taste

Thank you for the recipe.

Part of what I don't like about Pho is that I don't like rice noodles as much as I like ramen or udon. I bought some frozen udon noodles at the Korean supermarket this weekend but had no specific plans for them. I may do this.

My son brought me 8 lbs of beef soup bones Saturday. I’m wondering if I can use beef broth to boil these bones in and get a deeper beef flavor??
