Where I live, there is only one Vietnamese restaurant and it is far from my house so whenever I want to eat Pho, I have to make my own . Being lazy, I found a short cut to make this soup instead boiling soup stock all day. Oh yes, I did make stock but ahead of time and freeze for future use.
So last night, I had to change my menu at the last minute, I made Pho
Short cut to Pho
5 cups beef stock
3 anise stars
1 stick cinnamon
couple slices ginger
Rice noodle (onthe package it lists: Rice stick)
sliced beef
sliced onion
green onion, cut up
bean sprouts
sweet basil
lime wedges
shiraccha sauce
hoisin sauce
Heat up beef stock with the first 3 spices for about 20 minutes.
In a large pan, boil 1 quart water, put 1/4 package rice stick in the boiling water, turn off heat, cover for 10 minutes, drain off water and place about 1 cup in a bowl.
Arrange slced beef on top, some sliced onions, then pour hot soup over meat and noodle . Garnish with green onions . When eat, put bean sprouts, sweet basil, season with hoisin sauce, shiraccha and lime juice to taste .
