Pho Broth and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine beef broth and water. Add the halved onion, sliced ginger, star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Add the Short Rib

    Add the short rib to the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Skim any impurities that form on the surface.

  3. 3

    Cook the Noodles

    While the broth is simmering, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish the Broth

    Once the short rib is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred the meat. Strain the broth to remove solids, and return it to the pot. Adjust seasoning with salt or more fish sauce if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve the Pho

    In a bowl, place a portion of rice noodles, shredded short rib, rare beef, and roasted bone marrow. Ladle hot broth over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and Thai chilies. Add meatballs if desired.
