Mike's "What The Fuh?" Phở

Phở = Pronounced correctly, "Fuh."
Once again, my youngest students were watching Andrew Zimmern. [i swear this dude is trying to kill me] Anyway, they saw the Northern Vietnamese making Phở. With that, they demanded to try their hands at it.
Now mind you - authentic Phở can take upwards of a day and a half to make. I wasn't about to invest that kind of time. So, I instructed my students to make this simplified version [1 hour effort total] of a Cheaters Phở I created one night when I found myself stupid desperate for it.
Phở-nomenal work students! Your dish today was simply stellar! Way to fake it! Great photos too! [man, i've really got to quit underestimating these kids]

Steps
- 1
Here's what you'll need. Fresh herbs not pictured here.
- 2
Create your broth by adding everything in the Basic Broth section. Heat well.
- 3
Pan toast all of your dried herbs for 2 to 3 minutes. When you can smell them - they're fully toasted.
- 4
Add all of your Phở seasonings to a piece of cheese cloth.
- 5
Seal toasted herb bag tightly.
- 6
Add herb bag to broth and simmer for 45 minutes.
- 7
At the same time, prepare your water to boil your noodles. Add a dash of salt and oil to water.
- 8
Pull herb bag from broth and disgard. Then, fine strain your broth twice. You'll want it extra clear and clean for service.
- 9
Or, go with a clean chicken broth. Your choice.
- 10
Rinse dried or wipe down fresh mushrooms, then slice. Place in simmering broth for 15 minutes. 5 minutes if using fresh mushrooms. I usually pull out the dried just before serving but my students wanted them left in.
- 11
Boil noodles as per manufacturers directions then drain. Do not rinse noodles.
- 12
Prepare your chilled sides while waiting for noodles.
- 13
Char your onions.
- 14
Char your ginger.
- 15
Add raw thin sliced beef and hot noodles to individual bowls.
- 16
Add your super hot broth asap to bowls to keep noodles from drying out. Plus it'll give you time to quickly decorate your bowls with meats, seafoods and all garnishments.
- 17
Add your brisket slices and shrimp to the top of your bowls but submerged. Serve with any of the side options with chopsticks and deep Asian soup spoons. Enjoy!
