Noodles and Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Broth

  1. 1

    Roasting the Duck Bones

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the duck bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are browned.

  2. 2

    Simmering the Broth

    In a large pot, add the roasted duck bones and 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the whole onion, ginger (sliced), star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, salt, and sugar. Let it simmer for at least 2 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.

  3. 3

    Straining the Broth

    After simmering, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into another large pot. Discard the solids and keep the liquid warm on low heat.

Cooking the Noodles and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cooking the Noodles

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 5

    Blanching the Broccoli

    In the same pot of boiling water, add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Assembling and Serving

  1. 6

    Assembling the Pho

    In serving bowls, add a portion of the cooked noodles followed by the blanched broccoli. Ladle the hot duck broth over the top.

  2. 7

    Garnishing

    Serve with bean sprouts, fresh basil leaves, sliced jalapeño, and lime wedges on the side for each person to customize their pho.
