Ryan’s Beef Pho

My kids love this! It’s super fun and makes your house smell great! Pho (pronounced “fuh”) is a Vietnamese soup of savory broth, beef, and herbs. It’s super bright and you can adapt it to your own taste!

Main ingredients

• Good quality beef, raw, chilled and sliced paper thin
• Rice vermicelli noodles, rehydrated

Broth ingredients

• Beef broth/stock
• Cinnamon stick, whole star anise, whole peppercorns.
• Onion - large diced
• Fresh ginger - a big chunk
• 2 tbsp Fish sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• Seasoning to taste. Add any herbs you like. Add sugar if you’d like.

Toppings

• Fresh herbs, basil, cilantro, mint
• Sriracha, garlic chili sauce, hot sauce

Instructions

• Pour boiling stock over bowl, which will cook beef.
• Top with all of the wonderful sprouts, herbs and sauces (to taste)!
