VIETNAMESE PHO FOR A SMALL FAMILY OF 4 or 5

BEEF PHO FOR A SMALL FAMILY OF 4 or 5

1 large knob of ginger, sliced
1 yellow onion, peeled & sliced in half
1.5 oz pho spices (I used old man brand)
2 lbs beef bones, blanched
2 lbs beef shank or brisket, blanched
2 rock sugar, about the size of a golf ball
2 tsp salt
13 cups water
Chopped scallion, topping
Chopped cilantro, topping
Thinly sliced onion
Pho noodles

SEASONING:
1.5- 2 TBSP fish sauce
2 TBSP chicken bouillon

ADDITONAL TOPPINGS, OPTIONAL
thinly sliced eye round
Beef balls
Bean sprouts
Basil
Culantro
Lime
Hoisin
Sriracha

1. Thinly slice ginger. Peel onion. And place pho spices in the spice bag it comes with. You can toast/ char these ingredients but I did not

2. Place all of your ingredients into an instant post: blanch beef bones, blanched beef shank/ brisket, onion, ginger slices, pho spice, rock sugar, salt, and water. Pressure cook for 45 minutes. Note: While broth is cooking, prepare your scallion, cilantro, onion and whatever other toppings you want to use

3. Once ur broth is done cooking in the instant pot, quick release/ set instant pot to vent, remove and discard everything— spice bag, beef bones and ginger slices. For beef shank, leave it off to the side to completely cool before thinly slicing.

4. Once you removed everything from the broth, pour your broth through a fine strainer

5. This next step is optional— remove the fat from you pho broth. I used a fat separator. You can also leave it to cool overnight and scoop out the fat that hardens at the top.

6. Bring your broth over stove of fire and season two preference. I seasoned with 1.5 TBSP fish sauce and 2 TBSP chicken bouillon. All that’s left is too assemble your bowl.

7. Assemble bowl by giving pho noodles a quick dunk in boiling water for 15-30 seconds and then add your preferred toppings.

I just made this recipe. It’s really good and the first time I’ve made pho and it tasted like pho. I’ve tried traditional and insta pot recipes before and they tasted like dirty water. For us personally, next time we will maybe use only one, smaller rock sugar, but I know a lot of people like this dish a bit on the sweet side, so if that’s you, then leave it as is. Thank you so much. My family’s favorite food is pho and it’s far from us and expensive. This is a game changer! Thank you so much!

Now I know what the beef shank that I see on sale here at T&T Asian Market here in Canada can be used for! Thank you ❤🇨🇦❤️

Did not know the lid trick, that’s cool!

[melissabrookedehart]

I have been looking for this kind of accessible pho recipe. I am such a newbie. THANK YOU💜

[katidoesnails]

i love when you do these cooking recipes, thank you soo much 🙏🏻☺️

[allistrata]

Yes, I did know it does that. But does my family ever remember that? No and that's why the lid has hit the floor about 100 times.

I've been vegetarian for my whole life and yet I've watched this recipe thrice. I mean what sort of affection towards you is this where I fangirl and adore you at the same time!!

[vanessaalexandra]

Thank you for the recipe ❤ I made it this weekend and my family loved it😊 even my mom who is a picky eater was in love with the broth.

Very good, good job your vlogs are consistent, not changing only one content. Cooking. So good. Well done. Bounderies. Never seen her vlogging her travels outside their country, which is really good and safe. You don't have to post everything. Good job !

for the one person fast version, I use beef bullion for the soup. sacrilegious I know 😅 but you gotta do what u gotta do! n to save a pot I actually boil my water in my hot water boiler (like for tea) and pour into bowl with my noodles to cook it, less of a hassle compared to using a separate pot just to boil the noodle 15s. but yes im super sacrilegious, don't kill me XD

Yummy thank you for your yummy Pho bo recipe Alissa ❤

[azerial]

Oh your video ended at an odd time. Your recipe looks really awesome! To me, as a viewer, it would have been more enjoyable to see you plate it, and eat it and describe the flavors. I say this not as a person that is judging your art, your video is awesome. I will be making this tomorrow. Thank you!

[KarlaBermudez]

Ohhh yes I’m going to do this !!!! I always do something wrong and finally figured out it’s a whole 2 day process 😂😫

[cathyd.williamssaltlight]

[shellyclayton]

Thank you! amazing teacher; I feel like I can make this! and you've taught it in an approachable way! : )

[Andy-mouk]

Quick question: how does one learn to cook like this...I either have to stick to a recipe or cook with the one mix of herbs I know I won't fuck up. Your meals always look so delicious!
