8 oz dried rice vermicelli noodles
Desired meat: chicken, pork, steak or raw shrimp* ((See notes))
1 large yellow onion (, quartered)
2 (2-inch pieces) fresh ginger (, unpeeled and halved, length-wise)
6 cups broth ((chicken, beef or vegetable, depending on protein choice))
2 cups water
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1 whole clove ((optional))
1 1/2 Tablespoons fish sauce ((or less, to taste preference))
¼ teaspoon hoisin sauce
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon red chili paste ((sambal oelek))
1 stick cinnamon
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 green onions (, chopped)
2 fresh jalapeño peppers or red thai chili peppers (, thinly sliced and seeds removed)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (, chopped)
1 bunch Thai basil leaves
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
2 limes (, cut into wedges)
Sriracha hot sauce, or additional red chili paste (, for heat, optional)

Steps:

  • Place a large dry pot over medium heat add the onion halves and ginger pieces. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the broth, water, coriander, clove, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic paste, cinnamon stick and a pinch of fresh cracked salt and pepper to the pot. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare noodles according to package instructions. Once soft, drain, rinse and set aside.
  • Ready the garnishes in individual small bowls for serving: cilantro, basil, green onions, bean sprouts, lime wedges and sliced chilies.
  • 1-5 minutes before the broth is done cooking, add desired meat to the broth to cook, just until done (2-3 minutes for raw, thinly sliced chicken or pork, 1-2 minutes for shrimp or thinly sliced steak).
  • Discard the ginger, clove, cinnamon stick and onion pieces from the pot.
  • Divide the noodles among bowls; ladle broth on top (and meat). Add desired toppings.

HOMEGROWN ONTARIO PORK PHO



Homegrown Ontario Pork Pho image

I got this from the www.putporkonyourfork.com website. Super tasty, easy to make and versatile. I made this recipe using a new-to-me item called yam noodles I found in my chinese section. They are virtually carb free and worked out well in this dish. I have left this recipe as shown but feel free to make changes. I used regular white vinegar and used a few shakes of tobasco instead of garlic chili sauce. I left out the star anise and bean sprouts cause I couldn't find them. I also left out the basil, mint and coriander in place I used some cilantro leaves. I found that this would suit 2 people eating only this, 2 bowls of a standard soup bowl each. I ate 2 bowls for dinner, DH had 1 and there was 1 bowl leftover for the next day. This would stretch more with a side salad or bread.
