Phở (pronounced fuh) is a traditional Vietnamese soup made with a fragrant

broth, rice noodles, and typically thin slices of beef or chicken, topped with
fresh herbs and condiments. It's comforting, complex, and deeply flavorful—a true
national dish of Vietnam.

🍜 Classic Beef Phở (Phở Bò) Recipe


🧂 Ingredients for the Broth:
 2–3 lbs beef bones (marrow bones and knuckle bones)
 1 lb beef brisket or shank (optional, for serving)
 1 onion, halved
 1 large piece of ginger, halved
 3–4 star anise pods
 1 cinnamon stick
 3 cloves
 1 tbsp coriander seeds
 1 tbsp fish sauce (to taste)
 Salt and sugar (to balance)
 3–4 quarts of water
🍝 Other Ingredients:
 Rice noodles (bánh phở, flat rice noodles)
 Thinly sliced raw beef (eye of round or sirloin)
 Bean sprouts
 Fresh herbs: Thai basil, cilantro, mint
 Lime wedges
 Sliced jalapeños or Thai chili
 Hoisin sauce and Sriracha (optional for serving)
 Thinly sliced onion and green onions

🍲 Instructions:
1. Blanch the Bones
 Place bones in a pot, cover with water, boil for 10 minutes.
 Drain, rinse bones to remove impurities. This makes a clear broth.
2. Char Onion and Ginger
 Roast onion and ginger under a broiler or on open flame until charred. Peel
and set aside.
3. Make the Broth
 In a clean large pot, add blanched bones, charred onion and ginger, spices,
and water.
 Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for at least 6–8 hours
(longer = better flavor).
 Skim any foam or fat as needed.
4. Season
 Add salt, fish sauce, and a pinch of sugar to balance the broth.
 Strain the broth through a fine sieve.
5. Prepare Noodles & Toppings
 Soak or boil noodles according to package directions.
 Thinly slice raw beef; it will cook in the hot broth.
 Set out garnishes.
6. Assemble
 In a bowl, add noodles, raw beef slices, and ladle boiling hot broth over top
to cook the meat.
 Garnish with herbs, onions, bean sprouts, lime, and optional sauces.

🍗 Chicken Phở (Phở Gà) Variation:


 Use a whole chicken instead of beef bones.
 Simmer 1.5–2 hours.
 Use the shredded chicken meat for serving.
