How to make pho for beginners
- Prepare aromatics. Roast the onions and ginger over a fire or in the oven until lightly charred. This will enhance the aroma of the soup.
- Roast spices. Heat the cinnamon, star anise, cloves and coriander in a frying pan without oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make gravy. Place the onions, ginger, roasted spices, carrots, soy sauce, fish sauce and beef stock in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes.
- Cook noodles. Boil the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package, drain, then rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- Strain the soup. After 30 minutes, strain the soup to separate the solid ingredients, so the soup is clear and rich in flavor.
- Assemble the Pho bowls. Place the noodles in a serving bowl, add the sliced raw beef, then pour the hot sauce over the top. The heat of the sauce will cook the meat naturally.
- Add toppings. Serve with bean sprouts, coriander leaves, chili slices and lime juice to enhance the taste.
