Quick Faux Pho image

Not quite the same, but still good. I usually use the chicken/turkey alternatives as we don't eat red meat in our house. I don't remember where I got this, some magazine I think...

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
6 ounces rice noodles
5 ounces Baby Spinach
1 cup fresh basil leaf
8 ounces pastrami, torn in strips (16 thin slices)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 teaspoons chili oil
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Put broth in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • NOTE - I like to simmer the broth with a 1" piece of fresh ginger (quartered) and a cinnamon stick for 30 minutes, remove the items and bring to a boil. It makes it not-so-quick, but it is more flavorful.
  • Add the noodles, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the spinach and basil for the last minute of cooking time.
  • Divide beef among 4 serving bowls. Ladle soup over the pastrami, sprinkle with green onions and drizzle with chili sauce.
  • Serve with lime.
