i’m lazy and ‘from scratch’ is too much work for me… so i just buy the noodles and use BaoLong Vien gia vi pho bullion – in just a few minutes i’m enjoying my soup! btw, i don’t like to use cilantro – much prefer basil or mint – and i build my sriracha and hoisin in a ‘Tao’ pattern on a saucer for dredging my simmered beef slices – heaven in less than 10 minutes!

To all the commenters who have never had pho, let me just say that it has healing powers on hungover Sunday morning. Definitely a competitive alternative to the hair-of-the-dog bloody mary at brunch.

One note – basil is listed as a topping ingredient; to clarify, it should be Thai basil.

Oh man, all of Bourdain’s books are so great to read – I went through them like water!

I like pho, but I just keep buying the instant soup bases and doctoring them up – I love all of those side bits and pieces to add to it too – it kind of makes it so that no one really has the same soup!

Anthony does love pho and we love No Reservations. We posted a similar Crock Pot recipe for pho on our blog this week – it’s a very convenient way to make the broth.

It’s all in the stock. If you get that right it’s hard to beat pho. Your recipe for stock looks terrific. I freeze extra broth in 2 cup portions so I can have pho on whim. Your photos are terrific.

Vietnamese cuisine is one I’m not familiar at all with, having never eaten in a Vietnamese restaurant, and I’ve never had Pho. Your beef pho sounds delicious and I am now really looking forward to trying it.

Love this idea – is this kind of like shabu shabu?
