great food takes time :ohyeaah

Super simple delish soup!

I had a hankering for some Phò one day and decided to try making my own rather than heading out to the closest restaurant. This traditional Vietnamese style soup takes some time to prepare but makes for a comforting meal any day.

First part of our Vietnamese-Chinese weekend dinner meal.

Northern Pho Soup is simmered longer to extract more beef flavor from beef bones: knuckles, neck bones, rib bones, shank bones or oxtail bones and since we raise our own grassfed beef, which is flavorful but tough, we use this recipe.As farmers, I try to bring out the original fresh flavor of each ingredient, then add spice, herbs and other flavors in layers.You can buy this soup premixed in dry form, but check that it does not contain msg or ammonium costadum. I used my own ingredients, listed here, after tasting the premix. Use fresh celery leaves instead for the msg flavor, and dried white cardamon pods for the ammonium costadum.

For vegan diet, replace eggs with tofu.

Need something warm and cozy for these 🌧 ☔️ days? This Thai Rice Noodles Soup is the perfect one 👌🏻 IG @jenscookingdiary

I was bone chilled cold today and craved a chicken noodle soup with a spicy twist. Anyway, here's my lip smacking, tangy creation. Even my wife - who hates anything that's considered out of her American food comfort zone - adored it.I'd recommend you purchasing all of your ingredients from your local Asian market. They'll carry everything you'll need and at a much better price.

MY FUSION VERSIONVIETNAMESE NOODLE SOUP WITH RED WINE LAMB SOUPINSPIRED BY mypersionkitchen.comLOVING IT

I wondered if I could use rice paper to make anything other than fresh spring rolls. Rice paper seems to be made of similar ingredients to pho so I tried making some. It came out delicious and only took 10 minutes!The rice paper is easier to eat if you slice it into thicker strips!! I'm using celery leaves instead of coriander to give this dish its aroma but if you don't have any, you can garnish it with green onion or shiso leaves before eating instead! You can make this pho with your kids and not have to make them wait for their dinner on days when you don't have any time. Recipe by Masahidoki
