Quick Beef Pho
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 20 min
Yield: Makes 2 large or 4 small bowls

Ingredients

Pho Stock:
2 tablespoons (30 g) beef bouillon or base
1 tablespoon (15 g) Vietnamese fish sauce
1 tablespoon (15 g) white sugar
One (2″ [5-cm]) piece ginger, sliced into thin tiles
1/2 yellow onion, large dice
Pinch kosher salt
2 whole cloves
2 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick

Assembly:
1/2 pound (240 g) thin rice stick noodles, rinsed
1/2 pound (240 g) beef strip loin or fillet, shaved thin
1 cup (240 g) Vietnamese basil leaves
1 cup (240 g) bean sprouts
1/2 cup (95 g) cilantro leaves
5 jalapeno or serrano chiles, sliced thin
4 scallions, sliced thin on the bias
1/2 yellow onion, sliced paper thin
1 lime, cut into wedges
Hoisin sauce, for the table
Chili sauce, such as Sriracha, for the table

Directions

Special equipment: cheesecloth and butcher’s twine for the satchel
For the Pho Stock: Add the beef base and 1 quart water to a 2-quart (1.9-L) saucepan and bring to a low boil. Add the fish sauce, sugar, ginger, onion and salt to the stock and reduce the heat to a simmer. Wrap the cloves, star anise and cinnamon stick in a piece of cheesecloth and tie it into a satchel. Add the satchel to the broth and simmer for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 45 minutes.

Around the 30 minute mark, taste the broth to see that the spice flavors have been extracted, and adjust seasonings if necessary. Strain the aromatics and satchel from the broth, return to a sauce pot, and reserve for assembly.

For the assembly: Bring the broth back to a simmer. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Using a sieve or basket, quickly dip the noodles into the water until they are hot and al dente, 10 to 20 seconds. Drain the excess water from the noodles and distribute the noodles between 4 bowls.

Top each bowl with some sliced beef, basil, bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeno, scallions and onion, or as each person wishes. Ladle in enough broth to cover the ingredients in the bowl. Garnish with a lime wedge. I like to serve pho with Sriracha and hoisin sauce.

    Pho and Tom yum are my go to soups when I’m even THINKING like I am about to get sick. Extra spicy and bye bye cold. I’m going to have to try this method for sure.❤️

  2. Kenny Tran on November 9, 2019 at 4:41 am

  5. J Dad on November 9, 2019 at 4:42 am

    Pho is vegetarian because of their beliefs idiot

  6. Jaime Escalante on November 9, 2019 at 4:43 am

    "A little bit of sugar…" dumps in a small bowl. For one serving!

  7. Joshua Apathy Miller on November 9, 2019 at 4:47 am

    Very similar to mine, i just use store bought chicken broth and cook my short ribs in with the broth for the hour with everything else you put into yours.

  8. J Dad on November 9, 2019 at 4:47 am

  9. Kurt the Crip on November 9, 2019 at 4:48 am

  22. mz40oz on November 9, 2019 at 5:08 am

    I flippin LOVE Pho

  23. Tuyet Le on November 9, 2019 at 5:09 am

    I don’t think Pho can cook with fish sauce. The smell of fish sauce will destroy the smell of Pho. I am the owner of the pho restaurant. I’ve never added the fish sauce in my recipe.

  24. Tim Shawn on November 9, 2019 at 5:12 am

    Great video everything does not have to be the long-drawn-out recipes that take days to make you did a great job short order recipe

  32. dick fitzwelliner on November 9, 2019 at 5:20 am

    This fast pho has given me the idea to make broth with oxtails in my pressure cooker. I wouldnt leave the sachet in very long though. Just using beef base wont give you the the mouth feel of real pho broth, you need marrow and ligaments Also roasting the veggies is mandatory in my opinion. Making it more authentic wouldnt take any more time

  33. TRUTHxCJ on November 9, 2019 at 5:21 am

    Whitest asian guy ever

  34. s0fa on November 9, 2019 at 5:21 am

  36. KEN O on November 9, 2019 at 5:27 am

  37. Linda Fox on November 9, 2019 at 5:27 am

    Loved you video on Pho but do you have a recipe like hot and sour soup ?

  38. huynh0427 on November 9, 2019 at 5:27 am

    A pressure cooker will also get you closer to that "2 day broth". Restaurants normally do 8 hour. I do 3+ hours

  39. Hailey Guerrero on November 9, 2019 at 5:28 am

    Thank you!!! I WILL be trying this very soon

  40. J Dad on November 9, 2019 at 5:30 am

    That’s ramen not pho…dumb dumb

  41. A Medrano on November 9, 2019 at 5:34 am

    Amazing!

  42. Adam Doyle on November 9, 2019 at 5:34 am

    He missed one of the best ways to add extra flavor to the broth. You need to scorch the onion and the ginger. You also need to toast the Star Anise, Cloves and ginger in a dry, hot saute pan. These simple steps are well worth it and you won’t be disappointed.

  43. Kelli Kaus on November 9, 2019 at 5:37 am

    I love this concept! Asian food seems to be harder for some westerners. And I love how this condenses it. Thank you

  44. Swae K Lee on November 9, 2019 at 5:37 am

    This is like instant pho. Good pho takes hours

  45. Jack Gee on November 9, 2019 at 5:37 am

    Turns out I’ve been saying the word ‘pho’ wrong my entire life…
