QUICK BEEF PHO
I wrote this recipe for fast pho because you don't always want to take a whole day to source the ingredients for and make pho from scratch. This is an awesome hack to be eating pho in an hour! You can find all the ingredients locally and even have them delivered. Slicing beef paper thin can be a pain. Japanese and Chinese markets always stock paper-thin meats for shabu shabu or sukiyaki.

Steps:
- 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.

Steps:
- Place the rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with warm water and soak for 20 minutes, until softened.
- While the noodles are soaking, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Toast the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and star anise pods for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- While the seeds are toasting, peel the ginger and cut into pieces. Trim the ends off the green onions, then chop 5 inches off the bases and save the remaining green tops for later.
- Add the ginger and green onion bases to the pot and cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the water, chicken broth, and chicken breasts. Increase the heat to high, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes, then check the chicken every minute until cooked through. Remove from the heat.
- While the broth heats up, thinly slice the green onion tops. Cut the lime into wedges. Thinly slice the jalapeño.
- After 20 minutes of soaking, drain the rice noodles, then return to the bowl.
- Remove the chicken from the broth.
- Strain the broth over the noodles. Pour the noodles and broth back into the pot over high heat, then add the fish sauce. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
- Shred the chicken.
- Divide the noodles between four serving bowls and top with the shredded chicken, jalapeño, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Ladle the hot pho broth over the noodles. Add a squeeze of lime, green onions, and any other favorite toppings.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a good quality beef broth. This is the foundation of your pho, so make sure it's flavorful and rich. You can use a store-bought broth, but it's best to make your own.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cuts of beef. Brisket, flank steak, and chuck roast are all popular choices, but you can also use other cuts, such as oxtail or short ribs.
- Cook the beef until it's fall-apart tender. This will take some time, but it's worth it. The longer you cook the beef, the more flavorful the pho will be.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Carrots, onions, and celery are all classic pho ingredients, but you can also add other vegetables, such as bok choy, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Don't forget the herbs. Cilantro, basil, and mint are all essential pho herbs. They add a bright, fresh flavor to the soup.
- Serve pho with a variety of condiments. Sriracha, hoisin sauce, and lime wedges are all popular pho condiments. They allow your guests to customize their soup to their own taste.
Conclusion:
Pho is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and authentic pho that will be enjoyed by the whole family. So what are you waiting for? Give pho a try today!
