Ingredients

Broth

Noodles and Toppings

Preparation

Preparing the Broth

1. Roast the Aromatics

Cut the onion in half and slice the ginger. Place both on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 10-15 minutes until slightly charred.

2. Simmer the Broth

In a large pot, add the beef bones and water. Bring to a boil, then skim off any foam. Add the roasted onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Lower the heat and let it simmer for at least 4 hours, skimming occasionally.

3. Season the Broth

After simmering, strain the broth to remove solids. Return the broth to the pot and season with fish sauce and salt to taste. Keep warm.

Preparing the Noodles and Toppings

4. Cook the Rice Noodles

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

5. Prepare the Beef

Thinly slice the beef sirloin or brisket against the grain. You can also choose to briefly blanch the beef in the hot broth if you prefer it cooked.

6. Prepare the Garnishes

Rinse and chop the fresh herbs, slice the lime into wedges, and chop the green onions. Set aside with bean sprouts and jalapeños.

Assemble the Pho

7. Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, add a portion of the cooked rice noodles. Top with sliced beef, fresh herbs, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and green onions.

8. Pour the Broth

Ladle the hot broth over the assembled ingredients in the bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the top.

9. Serve

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Pho!
