Method

Broth Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the water, fish sauce, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, sliced ginger, sliced onion, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.

  3. 3

    Strain the Broth

    After simmering, strain the broth to remove the spices, ginger, and onion. Return the clear broth to the pot and keep warm.

Cooking Seafood

  1. 4

    Cook the Seafood

    Add the shrimp, calamari, crabmeat, and fishballs to the warm broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the calamari are tender.

Preparing Noodles

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice Noodles

    In a separate pot, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

Assembling the Pho

  1. 6

    Assemble the Pho

    In serving bowls, place a portion of the cooked rice noodles. Ladle the hot seafood broth and seafood mixture over the noodles.

  2. 7

    Add Garnishes

    Top with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and Thai basil as desired.
